Nixon

4203 — RICHARD NIXON 1913-1994. Nixon was Thirty-Seventh President. TLS. 1pg. 8†x 10â€. November 24 1954. Washington D.C. A typed letter signed “Dick†as Vice President. Using official “Office of the Vice President†letterhead he wrote to campaign volunteer Evlyn Dorn thanking her for her assistance on Dwight Eisenhower’s Presidential campaign. In addition to expressing his gratitude he also mentions a blizzard that impacted the campaign tour and invites her to a future reunion: “Dear Evlyn: It was certainly a pleasure to have you with us for the last part of the campaign tour. As a matter of fact Rose has told me several times she doesn’t know what we would have done without you! I know it was hard work and you may be sure we are deeply grateful to you. In every campaign there seems to be one incident which stands out above all others as the most unexpected and dramatic. In the two-month campaign tour which we have just completed that incident was the snow storm in Montana which caused us to cancel one day’s campaigning in Wyoming. As you know those of us we were in Montana will never forget that day and likewise I think all of those who were with us for any part of the campaign would enjoy being members of our new association – ‘Veterans of the Battle of Butte Blizzard.’ Last Thursday night all the folks who were on any part of the campaign trip who happened to be in Washington got together with Pat and me at the Columbia Country Club for the first meeting of the Association. We really relived the ‘Battle.’ It was great fun and I hope the whole gang will be able to get together the next time whenever that may be. We hope to have a meeting on the West Coast next year. Your membership card is enclosed and we will be sending the emblem along to you within a few days. Pat joins me in sending out very best wishes to you and Larry. Sincerely Dick Richard Nixonâ€. It is in fine condition. unknown books
