Description

Nixon writes of his college baseball career: “I think I got in only because we were far ahead at the time!”

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10, personal letterhead, June 23, 1982. Letter to an admirer, with Nixon handwriting the greeting at the top, recounting a college baseball game. In part: “I thought, incidentally, that it might give you a laugh to let you know that one of my most pleasant recollections as a bench warmer at Whittier College is getting into a game when we played Caltech fifty years ago. That, of course, was at a time when Caltech fielded some pretty good teams as did Whittier. I think I got in only because we were far ahead at the time!” In fine condition, with a trimmed lower edge. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
