Nixon, Richard M. Typed letter signed as Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California's 12th district to a Dick Cantwell, who evidently requested to assist in the HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee) investigation of Hollywood and identifying Robert Stripling as the chief investigator. In a reference to a gentleman named Berkov, Nixon writes "The State Department seems to be loaded with people of his type who can't be labelled (sic) as Commies but who seem to have very friendly leanings in that direction…." Letter is dated March 10, 1957 and signed "Dick". Letter is on Nixon's official stationery with his committees listed, Education and Labor and Un-American Activities in top right corner. Letter, 8½" x 11" is nicely framed and matted with original envelope, a photograph of him standing in front of his law partnership's door, and engraved panels; one, "Richard Nixon 37th President" and a panel regarding his involvement against Communists. Handsomely framed to 21" x 30.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
