ALS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 5, 1983. Letter to the widow of journalist Roscoe Drummond, in full: "It was with a deep sense of personal loss that I read of Roscoe’s passing. I first met him in 1947 when I was a freshman Congressman. Through the years thereafter he covered my activities in a manner that was outstanding in every respect. He was always fair, always honest, and always accurate. In addition, he was one whose counsel on major issues I found invaluable. A true gentleman, he set a standard for political commentary which should be an inspirational example for journalists in the future." Matted and framed to an overall size of 11.5 x 14.75. In fine condition. During his career, Drummond was syndicated columnist for 'State of the Nation' in the L.A. Times, the director of information for the Marshall Plan, and executive editor of the Christian Science Monitor.
Richard Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th president of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a representative and senator from California and as the 36th vice president from 1953 to 1961 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. His presidency saw the reduction of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, détente with the Soviet Union and China, the Apollo 11 Moon landing, and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency and Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Nixon's second term ended early when he became the only U.S. president to resign from office, as a result of the Watergate scandal.
