Nixon Resigns His Presidency in a Letter to Henry Kissinger -- 9 August 1974

Richard Nixon typed Presidential resignation, dated 9 August 1974. Letter reads in full, ''Dear Mr. Secretary: I hereby resign the Office of the President of the United States.'' Boldly signed ''Richard Nixon'' at the conclusion. Single page letter measures 5.25'' x 8.'' As the only Presidential resignation in American History, these highly sought-after souvenir letters are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Fine.
