Thanking Harold Wilson for his letter of condolences following the death of Patricia Wilson, who passed away in June 1993. The letter is signed 'Richard', and has an autograph addition 'PS. She made all the arrangements for the dinner I gave in your honour at our home in Saddle River' in the former President's hand.

Richard & Pat Nixon moved to Saddle River, New Jersey, in 1981, in large part as it afforded a reasonable commute to the office Nixon maintained in Lower Manhattan. The Nixons' two daughters and their families lived within easy visiting distance: Tricia in Manhattan, Julie in suburban Philadelphia. It was from here Richard Nixon wrote many of the books that were to see him enjoy something of a modest renaissance following the Watergate scandal, and earning him the nickname 'the sage of Saddle River'.

1p., US letter, horizontal folds; with a printed copy of the former President's tribute to his late wife, and an invitation card to Lord Wilson, inviting him for dinner.

Provenance

From the Estate of former Prime Minister Harold Wilson (Lord Wilson of Rievaulx) and Lady Wilson.
