Ford, Gerald. President of the United States (1974-1977). TLS while president, 1 pp., dated November 13, 1974 addressed to "Pump'um Paw." Measures 6.5 x 8.75 (sight) and 8.5 x 10 in. with its frame. Plus a 1 pp. ALS from Pump'um Paw (Richard L. Pinkerton) explaining the letters context. He types: As one Old Michigamua Brave to another, it is great to hear from you and have your good wishes. I'll do my best. Don't look for me at the game on November 23 because I have to be in Japan at that time. My thoughts will be with our team, particularly after what happened last Saturday. Betty is making a remarkable recovery. She will be taking it a bit easy for some time, but we are deeply grateful for the splendid progress. We truly appreciate your concern and interest in our welfare... According to Richard L. Pinkerton, Michigamua was the senior men's all campus honorary organization at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1902, the equivalent of the "Skull and Bones" group at Yale University. In 1998 the group changed its name to Order of Angell Pride of Michigan and permitted women into the group. The society elected top students involved on campus and gave them each "Indian" names. Ford was elected for football and was given the name "Flipp'um Back," while Richard was named "Pump'um Paw." Condition: Very good, some fading of the signature.
