November 16, 1976: “Congratulations on your reelection to the House of Representatives. It is gratifying to know that your experience and proven leadership will be instrumental in guiding the course of the 95th Congress.”
The vice presidential letter, one page, 7 x 9, Vice President letterhead, December 7, 1973, in part: “With humility and gratitude, I thank you for your confidence in confirming my nomination as Vice President of the United States. It is heartwarming to have your personal support and encouragement as I enter this new office. Naturally, I am sad at leaving the House which has been my home for nearly twenty-five years. However, fulfilling the responsibilities of the second office in our Nation is a challenge in which I will need the support and counsel of my friends in the House.” In overall fine to very fine condition.
