Catalogue Note

Signed "Richard Nixon, August 27, 1972" After years of famously supporting Democrats, particularly John Kennedy, by 1972 Nixon felt that the party had shifted too far to the left and supported Nixon over McGovern. Sinatra visited the Nixon White House many times, and the two men became quite friendly. Nixon and Sinatra would meet for dinner, and saw one another every New Year's Eve.
