Description

In the midst of the Vietnam War, Nixon reflects on “having the opportunity to lead America at this critical point in our nation’s history.”

TLS as president signed “R. N.,” one page, 7 x 9.25, White House letterhead, November 5, 1969. Letter to Pennsylvania Governor Ray Shafer. In full, “On this first anniversary of our campaign victory last year, I am reminded once again of how much your active and very effective participation meant to our achievement of that victory. The time and effort you devoted, the encouragement you gave, the personal commitment you made, all contributed greatly to our success in a difficult, exciting and closely contested campaign. Having the opportunity to lead America at this critical point in our nation’s history is a great privilege. I am deeply grateful not only for your campaign efforts, but also for the faith that those efforts represented. I shall do everything I possibly can in the months and years ahead to merit that faith, and to make these years a time which America, as a nation, and we as Americans, can be truly proud.” In fine condition, with light show-through from stamp on reverse and some stray marks to top edge and next to signature, where another hand has added the remainder of Nixon’s last name.
