Description

Ike takes the high road discussing Nixon, “a man whom, as you know, I admire greatly.”

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, February 20, 1968. Letter to a member of Look magazine. In full, “Thank you very much for sending me the March 5, issue of Look. I shall immediately start the reading of the article on Richard Nixon, a man whom, as you know, I admire greatly. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.” Eisenhower had mixed feelings about his Vice President, Richard Nixon, and only reluctantly endorsed him as the Republican candidate at the 1960 Presidential election. Nixon was the first Vice President to step in temporarily to run the government. Despite this, Nixon was forced to announce his own inclusion on the 1956 Eisenhower re-election campaign, which highlighted the lack of rapport he and Eisenhower shared. In fine condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
