Johnson, Lyndon B. Typed Letter Signed as President, on White House letterhead, Washington, April 12, 1968, one page, 9 x 6¾ in. To Dorothy Nichols, whom he hired in the late 1930s as his first female assistant, and who stayed with him until the end of his presidency. LBJ thanks Dorothy for her "kind phone call and… thoughtfulness" and adds, "You and I have shared a lifetime of great decisions together and I am heartened to know that you will continue to give me the goodness of your heart and the strength of your hand in the decisive months ahead. God bless you always for your loyalty and devotion." Written eight days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., LBJ was probably thanking Dorothy for her support after hearing of the tragedy.
