Richard Nixon
Vice President Richard M. Nixon Is Proud of the “Magnificent†American Efforts “to discharge American responsibility in meeting the needs of the Hungarian refugees†After the Revolution of 1956
3/1/57. <p>On October 23 1956 a student demonstration against the Soviet-dominated regime in Hungary became the first serious challenge to Communist authority since the Soviet Union drove the Nazis out and occupied Eastern Europe at the end of World War II. The demonstrators marched to the Parliament building in Budapest where Hungarian State Security Police detained a group of them who attempted to enter the radio building to broadcast the students_ demands. The police then fired on a group of demonstrators who demanded their release and killed a student. When demonstrators wrapped the body in a flag and paraded it in central Budapest violence erupted and news of the event provoked unrest throughout the country. The pro-Soviet government collapsed and a new government disbanded the State Security Police and announced its intention to withdraw from the Soviet-run Warsaw Pact and to hold free elections.</p><p style=""background-color: #222; background-image: url'/sites/default/themes/rcollection/images/main-title-bg-top.png'url'/sites/default/themes/rcollection/images/main-title-bg-bottom.png'; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center 10%center 90%; background-size: 95%; padding: 60px 40px; font-family: palatino; font-style: italic; width: 560px; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto 20px; color: rgba2051941671;"">The Hungarian Revolt was one of the crucial events of the Cold War</p><p>On October 31 the Moscow newspaper “Pravda†stated that the Soviet government was “prepared to enter into the appropriate negotiations with the government of the Hungarian People’s Republic and other members of the Warsaw Treaty on the question of the presence of Soviet troops on the territory of Hungary.â€Â That same day though unwilling to appear weak to the United States Soviet leaders reversed course and decided to take military action to crush the rebellion. In the early morning hours of November 4 Soviet troops invaded Hungary. The free Hungarian government fled and by November 7 the Soviets installed János Kádár as the new Prime Minister. In six days the Soviet military completely crushed the revolution. More than 2500 Hungarians and 700 Soviet soldiers were killed. By January the new Soviet puppet government had suppressed the opposition. However meanwhile large numbers of Hungarians were fleeing the country mostly headed for Austria.</p><p>This unfolding drama received hour-by-hour press coverage throughout the world with film footage appearing every evening on the news in the U.S. and elsewhere. The invasion with its graphic depiction of Soviet tanks on the city streets in Hungary clashing with demonstrators destroyed the Soviet argument that Eastern Europe was voluntarily within the Soviet sphere. It also confirmed to those in the West that there was a real Cold War at hand and that the Soviets were the aggressors as they could only hold their people by force. Strong anti-Communists like Richard M. Nixon then Vice President in the Eisenhower Administration seemed confirmed in their judgments.</p><p>By the time Hungary’s borders were sealed 200000 refugees had fled the country. Of those approximately 180000 went to Austria and another 20000 went to Yugoslavia. The refugees needed care and resettlement and this required a massive effort led by the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. 37 nations on five continents accepted refugees with the plurality - 40000 - going to the United States. Llewellyn E. Thompson was U.S. Ambassador to Austria so to him fell the main responsibility for managing the American effort to care for them and arrange their resettlement.</p><p>Lewellyn Thompson was one of the most important American diplomats of the 20th Century. After two years at his post in Vienna he would become the United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War serving two separate tours in the administrations of Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson and then acting as advisor to Richard M. Nixon. Few Ambassadors faced as many crises as Thompson did in Moscow - the shooting down of a U.S. U-2 reconnaissance aircraft over Russia the great confrontation between the U.S. and Soviet Union over Berlin and the building of the Berlin Wall very difficult summits between Soviet Premier Khruschev and Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy the August 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and tensions over the Vietnam War. But there were also steps toward better relations. At Thompson's suggestion Nikita Khrushchev became the first Soviet leader to visit the U.S. in 1959. Thompson helped arrange and was present for the 1967 summit in the U.S. between President Johnson and Premier Alexei Kosygin in Glassboro New Jersey after the Six-Day War in the Middle East exacerbated tensions. Also in 1967 the Soviet Union and U.S. agreed to begin cooperation in space with the joint Soyuz-Apollo program. The first treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons was signed on July 1 1968.</p><p>Thompson’s stint as Ambassador to the Soviet Union began in 1957 when President Eisenhower appointed him to the post. President Kennedy reappointed him in 1961 which was a tribute to Thompson as new presidents usually name their people to the top diplomatic posts. He ended his first tour in Moscow in 1962 when President Kennedy brought him home to Washington to become his Ambassador-at-Large as a member of the Executive Committee of the National Security Council advising the President on Soviet affairs. Shortly after returning to Washington Thompson provided President Kennedy with advice that was crucial to avoiding nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis. President Johnson reappointed him to the ambassadorship to Moscow in 1967 and he served until 1969. He came out of retirement to advise President Nixon on the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty SALT negotiations with the Soviet Union and represented the United States in the SALT talks from 1969 until his death in 1972. He thus was able to provide valuable insight into Soviet thought to four American presidents. Secretary of State William P. Rogers called him “one of the outstanding diplomats of his generation.â€</p><p>From December 18-24 1956 Nixon traveled to Austria to get first hand accounts from Hungarian refugees and inspect their conditions and aid requirements. Thompson aided him during that trip and Nixon was grateful.</p><p style=""background-color: #222; background-image: url'/sites/default/themes/rcollection/images/main-title-bg-top.png'url'/sites/default/themes/rcollection/images/main-title-bg-bottom.png'; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center 10%center 90%; background-size: 95%; padding: 60px 40px; font-family: palatino; font-style: italic; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto 20px; width: 560px; color: rgba2051941671;"">“You can be proud of the magnificent job being done under your able direction to discharge American responsibility in meeting the needs of the Hungarian refugees in Austria.""</p><p><strong>Typed Letter Signed</strong> on Office of the Vice President letthead Washington January 3 1957 to Thompson.</p><p><em>“This is just a note to tell you how deeply I appreciated the generous hospitality which you and Mrs. Thompson extended to me and the members of my party during my recent visit to Austria. Due to your efforts and those of your staff I was able to accomplish my inspection mission in a limited period of time and I am grateful for the many courtesies which were extended to me.</em></p><p>“You can be proud of the magnificent job being done under your able direction to discharge American responsibility in meeting the needs of the Hungarian refugees in Austria. This compliment is meant for you and your permanent staff of all nationalities and agencies as well as those who have come from other countries on short notice to meet the need for additional help the wives and families who have been working long hours as volunteers to relieve hardship and the hundreds of American and international relief agency workers. All of you have shown a wonderful spirit of dedication in rendering public service in the highest American tradition and I was highly pleased to find this same devotion to duty and deep interest in the refugee problem reflected among American personnel when we stopped in Munich in Prestwick and in Iceland.</p><p>“It was a pleasure for me to report to the President on your splendid activities and I know he would want to join me in saying – “well done keep up the good work.â€</p><p><em>""Mrs. Nixon joins me in sending our very best wishes for the New Year.â€</em> The accompanying envelope which is still present bears Nixon_s printed free frank. It was not mailed and therefore evidently was delivered by diplomatic pouch.</p><p>This letter comes directly from the Thompson descendants.</p> unknown

TLS. 1pg. 7 ¼†x 10â€. June 1 1968. New York NY. A typed letter signed “Dick†to E. Perkins McGuire affectionately referred to as “Perk:†“This is just a note to congratulate you on your election as a delegate to our National Convention in Miami Beach. Your work on behalf of the Republican Party in Washington makes it most fitting that you should have the responsibility to help select the man who will be the next President of the United States. As one who has served as a delegate I know that in the weeks before the convention you will probably be inundated by the mass material you will receive from the prospective candidates and their supporters. I do not want to add to your burden in that regard but I would like to take the liberty of sending you under separate cover some of the statements I have made on the major issues during the campaign. I hope to see you at Miami Beach if not before. You may be sure that whatever decision our party makes at the convention I shall look forward to working with you for victory in November.†Perkins served as the Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Eisenhower and was appointed by Nixon to be Chairman of the Commission on Government Procurement. As inferred by the letter the 1968 Republican National Convention was held August 5-August 8 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Florida at which time Nixon was selected to be the Republican nominee. He would go on to become President of the United States. Typed on Nixon’s personal letterhead the letter is in fine condition with some staining at the top. unknown books

Vice President Nixon Thanks A Volunteer To Eisenhower’s Campaign And Mentions Weather Difficulties On The Road
RICHARD NIXON 1913-1994. Nixon was Thirty-Seventh President. TLS. 1pg. 8†x 10â€. November 24 1954. Washington D.C. A typed letter signed “Dick†as Vice President. Using official “Office of the Vice President†letterhead he wrote to campaign volunteer Evlyn Dorn thanking her for her assistance on Dwight Eisenhower’s Presidential campaign. In addition to expressing his gratitude he also mentions a blizzard that impacted the campaign tour and invites her to a future reunion: “Dear Evlyn: It was certainly a pleasure to have you with us for the last part of the campaign tour. As a matter of fact Rose has told me several times she doesn’t know what we would have done without you! I know it was hard work and you may be sure we are deeply grateful to you. In every campaign there seems to be one incident which stands out above all others as the most unexpected and dramatic. In the two-month campaign tour which we have just completed that incident was the snow storm in Montana which caused us to cancel one day’s campaigning in Wyoming. As you know those of us we were in Montana will never forget that day and likewise I think all of those who were with us for any part of the campaign would enjoy being members of our new association – ‘Veterans of the Battle of Butte Blizzard.’ Last Thursday night all the folks who were on any part of the campaign trip who happened to be in Washington got together with Pat and me at the Columbia Country Club for the first meeting of the Association. We really relived the ‘Battle.’ It was great fun and I hope the whole gang will be able to get together the next time whenever that may be. We hope to have a meeting on the West Coast next year. Your membership card is enclosed and we will be sending the emblem along to you within a few days. Pat joins me in sending out very best wishes to you and Larry. Sincerely Dick Richard Nixonâ€.

Richardson, Rev John, author of the text, and James Henry Nixon, upon whose artwork the work is based
The Eglinton Tournament
London: Colnaghi and Puckle. Printed by Cook & Co. Lithography by Day & Haghe 1843. First Edition. Half Morocco. Pebbled cloth on boards. Very Good. A magnificent souvenir of a Romantic era joust basically a re-enactment of the Medieval combat sport in keeping with the resurgent interest in the Middle Ages at the time. This tournament was sponsored by Lord Eglinton at his Scottish castle in 1839. That this massive book took four years to put together attests to its grandeur as well as the ardor of Medievalism among the aristocratic elite. Elephantine Folio 61 by 43 cm. Blank title leaf dedication leaf six paginated pages then 21 hand-colored plates each with a tissue guard and a one or two page Description of the particular plate on a single leaf until the last or 21st numbered plate which has a four page or two leaf Description after which there are two unpaginated pages of "Concluding Remarks". The lettering of text on these pages is done mostly with blue type with occasional red. The title and the plate leaves are of a card stock. The other leaves are of a more standard but not light paper weight and the tissue guards are of a similar minimally less paper weight but a glossier stock. The plates capture and probably improve upon the spirit of the event as they idealize the whole proceeding with nary a misstep all the costuming just right not a speck of dust or dirt to mar the beauty of the sport. However true these "reenactors' -- for that was what they were -- are faithful to the Medieval sport our image of jousting tournaments is probably more influenced by the prettified imitation than the original since books like this directly influenced Hollywood and the historic fiction genre more than the more esoteric surviving documents from the Middle Ages. The tournament reportedly drew an estimated 100000 spectators but it also was mocked and satirized in its day especially by members of the Whig Party. Notwithstanding that this pageant inspired others in its wake. In addition to the 21 numbered plates the title page has a large hand-colored illustrated oval centerpiece 26 cm tall surrounded by monotone decoration comprised of figures of men in armor and seraphs. All the descriptions begin with a decorated letter that is in itself an esquisite vignette. And not to be slighted each of the color plates has surrounding its primary richly colored illustration a highly decorative frame that is populated with seraphs human figures foliate ornaments escutcheons weaponry etc. etc. These frames in contrast to the central illustration are mostly black line drawings with a tinted background but there are occasional bits of fuller color -- the coat-of-arms are generally rendered so -- and in a few of the frames these full color pieces are quite numerous. Regarding the Dedication leaf the dedication is to Archibald William Montgomerie who was the Earl of Eglinton as well as the holder of other titles and was made by Edward Puckle. The gallery he headed at the time goes back to 1760 and remains to this day now known simply as Colnaghi with headquarters in Mayfair but branches in New York and other cities. Nixon 1802 - 1857 illustrated the novels of Sir Walter Scott and not coincidentally "Ivanhoe" apparently was the inspiration to stage this particular pageant. He is best known though as a designer of stained glass and his work in this medium done through a partnership of Ward and Nixon can be seen most famously in Lincoln Cathedral. As to Eglinton himself the tournament cost him dearly as he depleted his coffers of almost everything to cover the massive losses incurred by the event. All edges gilt. Gilt lettering and decoration on cover bright. Two decorative bookplates mounted onto FEP. The book besides being extra-large is also extra-heavy -- 13 lbs. 8 ou. -- and thus expect a substantial amount of extra postage will be required to ship especially internationally. Condition: Binding shows some wear with bumped edge a moderate level of spotting and other soiling most pronounced on the pebbled cloth of front board and small areas with rubbing. Hinge crack by title page. Other than occasional light stains the book is clean tight and we would say a highly attractive copy of the work. Colnaghi and Puckle. Printed by Cook & Co. Lithography by Day & Haghe unknown
