A letter in which former President Ronald Reagan says “I never doubted communism would eventually fail” has drawn the highest bid at an auction of materials that belonged to ex-New York Mayor Ed Koch.
The Doyle New York auction house says the 1992 letter sold Monday for $3,750. Its worth had been estimated at $300 to $500.
The second-priciest item was a 1991 thank you note in which Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis told Koch, “Your love of life is contagious.”
