Dated 6 January 1975, letter reads in full, ”Dear Al, 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.

Pat joins me in sending our very best wishes.” Nixon adds a sentimental autograph note to the bottom: ”It is hard to realize that almost 14 years have passed since we worked on Six Crises -”.
