(Politics) NIXON, Richard M. (1913-1994). A personal, hand-signed letter from Former President Richard M. Nixon regarding his wife, Pat Nixon’s health:

“Dear Mrs. Zwecker:

This is just a note to tell you how deeply touched Mrs. Nixon and I were by your message of concern with regard to her illness.

She is home now, and slowly but surely making splendid progress toward full recovery.

Excellent medical attention, plus her courage and determination, have contributed greatlyto the progress she has made. But I am confident that your message, and the others she has received, as well as the prayers of people all over the world, have helped enormously in enabling her to come throught this difficult crisis even better and more rapidly than the doctors thought would be possible when she entered the hospital.

We shall always be grateful for your friendship and kindness, and we join in this expression of our heartfelt appreciation.

Sincerely, Richard Nixon.”
