This long-time Republican representative from Illinois (1935-74) served as House Majority Whip then as House Minority Whip. TLS, 1p, 8" X 10½", Washington, DC, 25 May 1965. Addressed to Kenneth N. Anglemire. Fine. On "Congress of the United States" letterhead, Arends writes the president of the Who's Who in America company with regrets: "I very much appreciate your kind invitation to attend Illinois Day at the New York World's Fair on June 16th. It is very difficult to make a firm commitment this far in advance because of the legislative program. It is seldom possible for me to be away from the Congress during the middle of the week. Much as I would enjoy being there on Illinois Day, I must regretfully decline." Boldly signed in blue ballpoint. A couple of sentences sloppily underlined in ink, likely by recipient Anglemire. Accompanied by an outstanding original glossy black-and-white 6½" X 8½" news agency photograph showing a group of legislators in suits being fitted with pith helmets. Newsprint text affixed to verso dates this image 20 June 1947, titles it "Tropical Topees for Sweltering Solons," and describes the scene: "Protection against Washington's notorious hot and humid summer weather is furnished fellow Solons by Representative Chauncey W. Reed, of Illinois, who presents them with tropical topees. Left to right: Leslie C. Arends, of Illinois." A charming pair.
