Letter from David Hume Kennerly, Personal Photographer to the President, to President Gerald R. Ford Regarding the President’s First Year in Office

Dear Mr. President, It's been a year since you became President, and a year since we had that talk at your home in Alexandria. I just want you to know that my admiration for you has not diminished, but in fact has increased ten-fold over the last 365 days. If there has been anything less than ethical or moral happening in your administration I don't know about it, and I can only tell you I'm proud to be on your team. With great respect, Dave Kennerly [stamped in red in lower right corner] GERALD R.
