Description

Six months before his resignation—"This is a time of great challenge and great opportunities in America"

TLS as president signed “RN,” one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, February 11, 1974. Letter to acclaimed psychic and astrologist Jeane Dixon and her husband Jimmy, in full: "A short time after delivering my State of the Union address to the Congress, I received your letter, and this is just to let you know how much I appreciated your comments. As I stated that evening, this is a time of great challenge and great opportunities in America. I believe the measures outlined in my message can set the agenda for truly significant progress for this Nation and the world in 1974, and it is heartening to know I may continue to count on your support. Again, my thanks and warm best wishes." In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corner. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope and an original glossy 8 x 10 photograph of Nixon with the Dixons. Exactly three weeks later, on March 4, 1974, seven of Nixon's former presidential aides were formally indicted on actions relative to the Watergate break-in. Nixon, who was listed as a co-conspirator, resigned five months later.
