Fascinating typed letter signed by Richard Nixon as President, to Robert McNamara who was then serving as President of the World Bank. Dated 3 March 1971 on White House letterhead, Nixon discusses the World Bank at length and then adds an interesting autograph postscript, in full: ''I greatly appreciate the candor & constructiveness of your talks with Henry K & others - RN / The speculation about replacing you are completely without foundation'', underlying completely for emphasis. Letter itself reads in part, ''...full mulitalateral [sic] and worldwide sharing of responsibility for development is fundamental to our new approach to foreign assistance...[signed] Richard Nixon''. Single page letter measures 7'' x 10.5''. Folds, else near fine.
