The letter is dated February 10, 1986 and was first published on Thursday.
“By the way, in our private conversation, he called out God’s name twice and once quoted a Bible verse,” Reagan shared in the letter. “This is stuck in my head and remains a nagging question that will never go away. I hope nothing prevents the next meeting. I hope it’s June.”
The archive consists of 14 letters that Massey decided to publish. Another letter, dated June 10, 1988, was addressed to her by Reagan after his summit with Gorbachev in Moscow.
“I would like to once again thank you for coming to lunch at the White House on the eve of the Moscow summit last month. My session with you and other eminent Soviet scholars was We found it to be a definite asset in preparing our trip to Moscow, both for our one-on-one meetings with the general secretary and for the many other events included in our itinerary,” said Reagan.
