Description

Old-timers: “I spent two hours with ... Deng Xiaoping ... in Peking last fall”

TLS signed “RN,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, January 17, 1986. Nixon writes to Arnold Stark. In part: “You were most thoughtful to call me for my birthday. I must confess that I have always thought that 73 was a very advanced age, but after seeing how remarkably sharp and fit Time’s Man of the Year, 82 year old Deng Xiaoping, was when I spent two hours with him in Peking last fall, I have renewed hope that there are still some good years ahead!…” Nixon has also handwritten the greeting “Dear Arnold.” Two marginal pinholes and a few mild wrinkles, otherwise fine condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
