TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Office of the Vice President letterhead, March 7, 1953. Nixon thanks a supporter for their support following his famous ‘Checkers’ speech. In full: “I am sure you will understand that, because of the very heavy schedule during the post-election and inaugural periods, this is the first opportunity I have had to tell you how very much I appreciated the work you did during the campaign in addressing cards to those who wired or wrote to the National Committee after my broadcast of September 23rd. I know from just signing my mail each day how tedious addressing must be, and that is why I am particularly grateful for the many hours you spent in getting the cards out. Incidentally, you will be interested to know that we have received literally hundreds of letters in the office thanking us for the card, and everywhere we went after the broadcast people would come up to us and show us the card they had received.” In fine condition, with horizontal mailing fold touching the top of his signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, the card to which Nixon refers, and an unsigned postcard picturing Nixon. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
