Description

“The doctor tells me that he would like to graft some skin on it so that it would look better but I vetoed that idea”

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, August 20, 1985. Nixon responds to an admirer following an operation. In full: “It was most thoughtful of you to remember me as you did with regard to news reports on my well-publicized operation. A skin tumor is nothing to get particularly excited about except that in this case it was behind the ear and was extremely large. Now that it has been removed there are no after-effects whatever except for a rather prominent scar. The doctor tells me that he would like to graft some skin on it so that it would look better but I vetoed that idea since most people will see me from the front and not from the back!” In fine condition, with a few wrinkles and surface impressions. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
