RICHARD M. NIXON T.L.S.
<b>294. RICHARD M. NIXON</b> T.L.S. with his typically encircled initials "<i>RN</i>" as President on White House letterhead, 1p. 4to., San Clemente, June 28, 1973 to a personal friend. In part: "<i>...I deeply appreciate your generous thought in sending me the copy of The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta. This volume is a most welcome addition to my library, not only because of you warm inscription but especially because of our friendship over the years. Rosemary [Woods] has just given me the encouraging news that Mrs. Kaplan is progressing slowly and is due to make her first trip to San Diego...</i>". Tiny tear in top margin, else very good to fine. The gifted book is a thorough analysis of several chapters from Matthew from a principally Hindu viewpoint, with frequent references to Buddhism. Perhaps Nixon needed the consolation: three days earlier, John Dean testified that a political espionage program was conducted by the White House and testified that Nixon was participating in the Watergate cover-up within a few days of the burglary.<b> $200-300</b>
