Typed Letter Signed: "Nelson" as Governor, 1p, 7x10½.
Albany, New York, 1959 September 4. To Carl L. Shipley, Chairman, The
Republican State Committee, Washington, D.C. In full: "Thank you
for your very informative letter of August twenty-sixth. It was thoughtful of
you to write and I appreciate your interest. I enjoyed very much meeting you on
the occasion of your visit to New York, and look forward to seeing you again
soon. With best wishes." CARL L. SHIPLEY (1916-1998) was the
Republican Chairman for the District of Columbia from 1958-1968. He was an
outspoken supporter for home rule for the District, at times even suggesting a
Governor and District Legislature. Through his efforts, among others, the 23rd
Amendment was added to the U.S. Constitution in 1961 giving the District of
Columbia electoral votes for the first time. NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER
(1908-1979), who would later serve as Gerald Ford's Vice President from December
19, 1974-January 20, 1977, had just become Governor of New York in January 1959.
He served until 1973. Slightly shaded at upper edge. Erased pencil note (unknown
hand) at upper right corner. Fine condition.
