Nixon, Richard -- Collection of Letters Includes Mention of the 1956 Election (1913-1994) 37th President of the United States (1969-1974). Collection of eight typed letters signed ("Dick") as Vice President, on official letterhead, written between March 1953 and September 1960, to Don Belding of the advertising agency Foote, Cone & Belding. In 1953, Nixon refers to a book of Presidents' letters given to him by Belding, and to a copy of a talk Belding had made "on the tenets of the world's ten religions." On July 6, 1954, Nixon refers to his March 13, 1954 radio and television address in which he responded to allegations made by Adlai Stevenson against President Eisenhower. He defended Ike's "New Look" foreign policy, which favored building a nuclear arsenal over retaining a large conventional military, and also addressed the issue of "McCarthyism." Nixon tells Belding, "As you can imagine, that particular speech was not an easy one to make!" On November 30, 1956, Nixon rejoices over the outcome of the election, in which he and Ike were re-elected. In September 1960, Nixon thanks Belding for his letter "concerning some aspects of our missile programs." More content. A few notes in margins in another hand. Very good to fine condition. Estimate Value $500 - UP
