COPY January 14, 1957 Dear Mendel: Even though you have already received our formal acknowledgment of appreciation of your letter of November 8, I did want to avail myself of this delayed opportunity to thank you personally for your thoughtfulness. You were certainly most generous in your comments with regard to my contribution to the campaign. Your remark about the Cornell appearance was particularly interesting. I don't think I have ever experienced a half hour in which I felt I had to be more on my toes than on that occasion. And after Mendel: we went off the air, the questions continued at the same pace for another forty minutes! B. I want you to know how deeply I have appreciated the counsel and friendship you have extended to me during the years folder of my public life. Whenever the going gets tough, I am always heartened by the fact that I have a few real friends like yourself who never fail to stand up when the chips are down. Pat joins me in sending our best wishes for the New Year. Sincerely, Richard Nixon Mr. Mendel B. Silberberg 6399 Wilshire Baulevard Los Angeles 48, California
