Unsigned original poem, in pencil, written on the reverse of a 1969 TLS to Agnew from the National Cathedral School. Agnew writes a 23-line lighthearted poem about Chief of Staff Arthur Sohmer. In part: “Arthur Sohmer’s Asian trip, made the Orientals flip. Arthur Sohmer, Chief of Staff, Man of talent, how they laughed…Dined in style with Chiang Kai Shek, survived that culinary wreck. Went to see the friendly Thai, wore their shirts, got quite high…Thirty thousand miles he flew, and thirteen Chivas bottles slew…But Dunn and Houdek made it pleasant, abetted by a soft Greek peasant.” In fine condition, with horizontal fold through one line of poem, and a bit of scattered light toning.
