Published by Office of the Vice President Washington. 22 December envelope with facsimile signature, 1958
Manuscript / Paper Collectible
1p, 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged, folded twice, with staple holes to one corner. In envelope, carrying facsimile of Nixon's signature and printed 'Office of the Vice President | Washington', with typed address to 'Mr. Hugh Burnett | The British Broadcasting Corporation | Lime Grove, London, W. 12 | England'. The letter carries a good strong signature in black ink, with the merest of smudges coming outwards from the left-hand side. Nixon begins by thanking Burnett for his note of 1 December, and wishes to tell him 'how much I enjoyed having the opportunity to appear on BBC's "Press Conference."' He reports that 'members of my staff who were with us in London felt they had never seen a better production. Several who have been with me during campaigns when I appear more frequently on television said that this was the best picture they had seen of me!' He considers his 'brief visit to London' to be 'one of the most memorable trips in all of our travels of the past five years and you may be sure that both Mrs. Nixon and I are hopeful that we shall have the opportunity to return to England again in the future.' Burnett is best-remembered as producer of the groundbreaking BBC TV series of interviews by John Freeman, 'Face to Face'.

Black and white photograph, 251 x 204 mm. Inscribed in blue ink on photograph. Inscribed "To Ludwig Raimondo with best wishes, from Richard Nixon." The photograph was taken by celebrity photographer Arnold Newman (1918-2006) on 28 September 1953, when Nixon was still a U.S. Senator for the state of California, but was shortly to become Vice President under Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969). - Hint of wear, very good.

1p., US letter, horizontal folds; with a printed copy of the former President's tribute to his late wife, and an invitation card to Lord Wilson, inviting him for dinner. Thanking Harold Wilson for his letter of condolences following the death of Patricia Wilson, who passed away in June 1993. The letter is signed 'Richard', and has an autograph addition 'PS. She made all the arrangements for the dinner I gave in your honour at our home in Saddle River' in the former President's hand. Richard & Pat Nixon moved to Saddle River, New Jersey, in 1981, in large part as it afforded a reasonable commute to the office Nixon maintained in Lower Manhattan. The Nixons' two daughters and their families lived within easy visiting distance: Tricia in Manhattan, Julie in suburban Philadelphia. It was from here Richard Nixon wrote many of the books that were to see him enjoy something of a modest renaissance following the Watergate scandal, and earning him the nickname 'the sage of Saddle River'.
