O'Connor, 88, was nominated to the bench by President Ronald Reagan as the first female Supreme Court justice of the United States in 1981. She retired from the bench in 2006, in part to care for her husband, who was ailing from Alzheimer's.
The letter was released by the court's Public Information Officer. O'Connor signed it at the bottom writing "God Bless you all."
