Extraordinary typed letter Signed from Ansel Adams to his Doctor

Np, 11 October 1980. Near Fine. Typed letter (with some handwritten corrections) Signed, "Ansel," to "Dear Dr. Chamberlain," on a folded greeting card. The card, shows a reproduction of his photograph, "Dogwood Blossoms" (1938). Adams expresses concern about the possibility of Ronald Reagan becoming president, worrying that such a presidency would place business above more important priorities and bring about a world war:". . . I am seriously worried about Reagan. My concern is separate from the Party! I know of many excellent Republicans who would make a good President and in whom I could trust. Reagan is a VERY DANGEROUS man, simply because he is a nit-wit, makes the most erronious [sic] statements, and has revealed himself as the tool of some 'special interests' of dire intent. His opposition to the E.P.A. and the E.R.A. clearly shows stupidity and dire influence. Mention of Gen. Haig as Secretary of Defence simply brings world war III close to reality. These are terrible people and, if they are elected, could bring us close to a Dictatorship in a short time. Do not forget Hitler; he was certainly not bright, but he was used by people who were both bright and evil...Coolidge made a statement that has always bothered me--'The business of America is Business.' If business was all America should be concerned with I should move to Antar[c]tica! . . . I have known far too many [businessmen] who represent everything I cannot believe in, who are utterly selfish and--in the human sense--stupid. I do NOT include such great people as the Walter Hass', Ralph Davies, Otto Meyer, etc. . . . I fear the ubiquitous racism, the prevalent jingoism, and the growing standard of non-excellence. . . .". . . I just want to make myself clear (O Lord--that's something Nixon said! Forgive me!) . . . ." Elsewhere in the letter, Adams discusses health concerns.
