President Lyndon Johnson signature on notes to military leader

These came from the estate of the late Admiral US Grant Sharp who was Commander In Chief of Pacific Forces from 1964-68 and was commander of all US troops in Vietnam: think of him as being the Eisenhower of the Vietnam War (Eisenhower was Supreme Commander of forces in the war against Germany).

These two notes from President Lyndon Baines Johnson are rare examples of notes from a sitting President to the an active wartime theater commander. LBJ's signature itself is rare, and something like this is pretty much impossible to find. I also show a note the florist sent when the President and Mrs. Johnson sent flowers to Sharp and his wife during the Johnson's trip to Hawaii for a conference with South Vietnam leaders (Sharp was headquartered in Hawaii).
