MEMORANDUM FOR BOB HALDEMAN
FROM THE PRESIDENT
@m
I have a delicate matter which I would like for
you to work out with regard to John Mitchell. When I offered
our Florida place to them I did not realize that Julie and David
plan to go down there for the week before Christmas which is
the first time he will have off after his intensive indoctrination
at Newport. Under the circumstances, I would like for you to
get ahold of Bebe and see if he can arrange for them to have
a really good villa at Key Biscayne. I know that is where
Martha wants to go and she is always bugging us because she
says they never give them a good villa. Bebe should use all the
weight he possibly can to get this villa for them. Once that is
done then you can call John and tell him of the mix-up and express
our regrets.
You can also tell him that if they are there before
Julie and David arrive or are there after they leave that we
want them to use our beach facilities -- something Bebe will always
be ready to arrange.

Dear Rose,
I had heard indirectly that H. Freeman
was no longer making clothes for the President,
and I wanted to let you know that we would be
delighted to make them for him. Modestly,
naturally, we do even a better job than anybody
and can make his custom shirts too.
If he would like a crack at what we can
do, let me know and I'll make the arrangements
for our people to come measure him.
We've had a tight one here in Tennessee,
and I hope that it comes off good tomorrow!
The President's visit here helped a whole lot!
It pulled in a lot of independents I am sure
that are really for him and not necessarily
Brock. There is always a lot of coattail
riding I guess.
Warmest personal regards,
Sincerely,
your

HENRY O. DORMANN
988 FIFTH AVENUE
NEW YORK CITY
November 9, 1970
Miss Rose Mary Woods
Office of the President
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Rose Mary:
A good friend of mine, Robert H. Kenmore, who
is Chairman of the Board of the Kenton Corporation,
spoke to me about an idea he has, which I would
like to pass on to you.
The Kenton Corporation owns the famous jewelry
house of Cartier, Mark Cross, Ben Kahn Furriers,
Georges Kaplan, Kenneth J. Lane, the jeweler;
and Valentino, the couturier. He runs an extremely
profitable operation, headquartered in New York
City.
Sometime in 1971 in the Chevy Chase area outside
Washington, a center will have been completed
which will house a very exclusive shopping area
composed primarily of these stores, like Cartier,
owned by the Kenton Corporation. There will be
33, 000 square feet of retail selling space and
parking to accommodate 340 cars.
Architects are Nottingham & Associates of
Arlington, Virginia, and the interiors are being
done by Gae Aulenti of Milan, Italy.
The new center is across the street from Lord &
Taylor, Woodward & Lothrop, Saks Fifth Avenue
in one of the top areas in Chevy Chase.
The Kenton Corporation, which is listed on the
American Stock Exchange, had sales of $100-
million and earnings of $2. 5 million last year.
-2-
Mr. Kenmore, the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, is interested in retaining Miss Tricia
Nixon as a consultant to his firm, specifically
to advise them on this new center in Chevy Chase.
Should Miss Nixon be interested, he would agree,
in writing, that there would be no publicity whatso-
ever, no announcements and no photographs of her
involvement. Any statements, if any were de-
sired - and none are desired necessarily by the
Kenton Corporation - would come through the
White House.
Mr. Kenmore is interested in Miss Nixon strictly
for one purpose - he believes she can probably
tell him more about the buying habits of young
people in the Washington area than most other
persons. He wants to know how to approach the
young Washington market in design, in products,
in potential customer groups.
Should Miss Nixon be interested, the price would
be open, and I imagine we would have to get together
to discuss this matter further.
Mr. Kenmore, again, is not interested in the
publicity or the use of the Nixon name. On both
these issues, I want to make this clear. However,
he does feel she is in a prime position to know
the market better than anyone else.
Perhaps you could suggest some way for us to
find out whether this would be of interest to you
and whether we should get together. I will look
forward to receiving your good advice.
As always,
Hung

WOODSTOCK ROAD
GATES MILLS, OHIO
November 25, 1970
The President
The White House
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. President:
It was indeed a privilege and an honor to be your
guest at dinner as one of such a small group. I greatly
appreciated having the opportunity to hear you discuss
your plans.
While it was kind of you to suggest that the dinner
was to express your appreciation for our support, I join
with your other guests in saying that what we would like
most is the opportunity to serve you and the Party to the
utmost of our ability. We will continue to consult with
each other as to how this might be done.
The dinner was superb and the wine - may I say
that your choice of claret was super-superior. I have
never tasted a finer wine.
With regard to the Ohio situation, I think your
suggestion of inviting a number of the loyal and active
leaders around the State would greatly stimulate their
interest and their potential.
I mentioned this to Chappie Rose and he applauded
the idea.
Sincerely,
Kent Smith

Mr. H. P. Haldeman
Assistant to The President
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Haldeman:
At the suggestion of Herbert Kalmbach, I am
sending the enclosed letter to President Nixon via you.
I have left the envelope unsealed so that you may
read it.
The dinner was on the evening of November 18,
with the Attorney General and four other guests.
I am also writing the Attorney General, since he
discussed with me some of the problems that might result
from Bob Taft's haste in trying to restructure the Party
in Ohio.
Sincerely,
KentH.Smith
