TLS signed “RN,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, January 6, 1975. Letter to New York Senator and Ambassador to India, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. In full: “I want you to know how deeply I appreciate the thoughtful message you sent to me after I left office and returned to California. We have passed through a very difficult period, but it is at such times that one learns who his real friends are; I am proud to number you among them. When I recover my health, you can be sure that in the years ahead I shall continue to work for those great goals to which we were dedicated in the years I served as President–peace for all mankind and prosperity and progress for every American. Pat joins me in sending our very best wishes.” Beneath his signature, Nixon adds a short handwritten postscript, “Keep fighting and keep writing!” In fine condition, with staple holes at the top and bottom, and a few minor creases.
Moynihan joined Nixon's White House Staff in 1968 as Counselor to the President for Urban Affairs. As a member of his inner circle, he wielded a great deal of influence during Nixon’s first term in office, drawing on his academic research related to social policies. Nixon later appointed Moynihan as United States Ambassador to India, a post in which he served from 1973 to 1975... and keeping him overseas during the tumultuous Watergate scandal that led to Nixon’s fall from power. In this letter, written almost five months to the day that he resigned the presidency, Nixon thanks the future Democratic senator from New York and reveals he is still holding on to the dream of working “for those great goals to which we were dedicated in the years I served as President – peace for all mankind and prosperity and progress for every American.” An historically significant bit of correspondence.
