“I know that participating in events of this type must at times become somewhat onerous, but you made thousands of people happy.”

TLS, one page, 8 x 10, Office of the Vice President, Washington letterhead, April 29, 1953. A letter to the actress Lily Pons. In part: 'This is a belated but sincere note to tell you how much I appreciated your part in helping to make the 1953 Inauguration such a memorable occasion. I know that participating in events of this type must at times become somewhat onerous, but you made thousands of people happy. Let me add also that though Mrs. Nixon and I have had the privilege of seeing some fine productions we have never been as impressed as we were at the inaugural festivities. I hope that the next time you happen to visit Washington you will stop by the office so that I can personally express my appreciation to you.' The letter is attractively matted and framed to an overall size of 12.5 x 15.5. In fine condition, with slight smudge to one letter of the signature. RRAuction COA.
