Nixon, Richard M. Typed Letter Signed ("RN") on personal letterhead, New York City, June 7, 1984, one page, small quarto. With holograph greeting ("Dear Paul") to Paul Keyes, a Hollywood producer and one of Nixon's closest friends. In part: "Your letter with the cassettes from the POW dinner brought back many pleasant memories. / It was without question the largest sit-down dinner ever held at the White House and in my view probably the best because of the event it was commemorating. The fact that only ABC saw fit to cover it and then just at the last minute is an indication of how determined our 'media friends' were out to do nothing which might help me even if it meant not paying the respect due to men who had served their country far beyond the call of duty. / And what a parade of stars! John Wayne, Irving Berlin, Jimmy Stewart, Sammy Davis, Jr….without Paul Keyes there to produce it, we could have never pulled it off. / …I am now in the process of writing my sixth and probably last book which will be entitled, 'No More Vietnams'…." One pen mark in upper left corner; else fine.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
