COLUMBIA,SC (WOLO)- During the annual Christmas open house at the Governor’s mansion Henry McMaster revealed a very symbolic piece of history that hangs on a wall in one of the bedrooms.

Governor McMaster showed ABC Columbia a hand written letter from former President George H.W. Bush.

“He was truly a great man,” McMaster said. “I don’t know of a nicer or more gentle, more honorable man than George Bush.”

The letter signed May 11, 1994 reads, “Thanks for the special hospitality. The mansion is a joy to behold and to stay in.”
