HUMOR IN LETTER'S 

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA


April 17, 1984


Mr. John Hinkley
St. Elizabeth's Hospital
Washington, D.C. 06969


Dear John,

Nancy and I hope you are making good progress in your recovery
from the mental problem that made you try to assassinate me. 
The staff of St. Elisabeth's Hospital tell me you are doing just 
fine and will be released soon.

I have decided to seek a second term in office and I hope I 
can count on your support and the support of your fine parents 
in my re-election campaign.

I hold no grudge against you John and I hope that if there is 
anything you need there at the hospital you will let Nancy and 
me know.

By the way, did you know that Walter Mondale and Gary Hart have 
both been fucking Jodie Foster?


Sincerely yours,



Ronald Reagan
