Description

“I agree that except for the great crimes of Watergate President Nixon was an able and successful President”

Collection of seven items consisting of four two-page ALSs and three signatures. The letters, all to the same recipient, answer questions posed to Cox about Watergate and other issues. One reads, in part: “Initially I thought that President Nixon should have been required to stand…trial. Lately, I have been inclined to think that President Ford acted wisely. I agree that except for the great crimes of Watergate President Nixon was an able and successful President, well above average, but I would not rank him close to Washington and Lincoln or Theodore or Franklin D. Roosevelt. Buchanan and Harding fall in the bottom rank.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
