“Dear Lisa, I am very proud to sponsor you in the walkathon. Thank you for asking. I know you’ll walk the seven miles and the enclosed is to help the cause you are serving. God bless you. Ronald Reagan.”
Nathan Raab, vice president of The Raab Collection, a dealer of historical documents, said the original letter and $50 check signed from Reagan’s personal Bank of America account are now being offered for sale as a rare personal keepsake from the nation’s 40th president. “This little-known episode in Reagan's life shows the kind of man he was and is a testament to his character,” Raab told FoxNews.com. “He cared enough that when he received a letter and request from a young child, the president devoted not only his valuable time as president, but also his personal funds to her.”
