No, I have not gotten a letter from a president. But I still have the letter - 48 years later - that my parents received from a Senator, congratulating them on my birth!
I have never received a handwritten letter from a President, but I do get Christmas cards from the Obamas. When I was a child, in Michigan, my Mother used to get Christmas cards from then-Governor G. Mennen Williams and -- later -- from Vice-President Richard Nixon.
I wrote Nixon when I was in the fifth grade. I received a very nice response, which included an 8X10 photo of him. I still have it. My pleasure in receiving it was less than it ought to have been, however, by the way I found out--My mother opened it, brought it to school, and used it to GIVE A SHOW AND TELL TO MY ENTIRE CLASS. I only found out about it when everyone else did. Other presidents have not replied to letters I wrote them.
