Chairman, Republican State Committee, Washington, D.C. In full: "Thank
you very much for your thoughtful note of November twenty-fourth and the
enclosed editorial from the Washington Evening Star, which I read with interest.
I am looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to being with you on January
twenty-seventh. Many thanks for your wonderful cooperation with my staff in
connection with the arrangements. With best wishes, Sincerely." Nelson A.
Rockefeller (1908-1979), the grandson of John D. Rockefeller Sr., was
Governor of New York from 1959-1973 and sought the Republican
Presidential nomination in 1964 and 1968. (He had secured Platform assurances
from Vice President Nixon in exchange for not contesting the nomination that

presidency in 1974, Rockefeller was chosen by President Ford to be Vice
President of the U.S. under the provisions of the 25th Amendment.
Rockefeller, who did not seek the nomination in 1976, served as VP from
1974-1977. Lightly creased and frayed at left
edge, else fine condition.
