Dear Herb:
As you will note from the enclosed letter and memoranda,
the President would like to have The Wine Vault but is
following Rex Scouten's suggestion that they use it at
the Western White House. I wonder if you would be good
enough to get in touch with this man and see whether this
could be done -- we could even say that it could be brought
back here if it was felt necessary. Although they are able
to handle the wine storage here when he entertains foreign
dignitaries and other official guests it would be extremely
useful to have The Wine Vault in San Clemente.
I have written Mr. Cortese saying that the President
greatly appreciated his most generous offer and has
asked you to be in touch with him to work our arrangements.
With best personal regards,
Sincerely,
Rose Mary Woods

WASHINGTON
August 24., 1971
Ed Hoyt has an appointment
with Don Nixon at 3:00 PM,
Thursday, August 26 and
hopes that permission can be
granted to see the papers
before that time.
He will call Wednesday
afternoon to see if there
is any word.
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
August 24, 1971
Evlyn Dorn called
During the course of the
conversation she asked if
Ed Hoyt had received permission
to see the papers that are
locked up in Whittier in the
Bank of America building.
I told her RMW had requested
that he write a letter requesting
permission of the President
to see them.
She said they were mainly the
President's mother's papers
and probably some of them
belonged to the President --
they are the ones that she
catalogued at one time.

The Hon The President ofthe United States
Richard M. Nixon
Dear Mr. President:
Some time ago a number of boxes of papers were deposited
in a vault in the Bank of America in Whitter. I understand that
there is much material therin that is useful--even vital-- to
mg book THE NIXONS.
Donald Nixon tells me that I can use this material, or see it,
only by your express consent.
That is the object of this letter-- to secure your consent to
make use of the historical materials collected by your mother.
Sincerely,
HA

Ed Hoyt
213/698-6731 (Mahalini Motel, Whittier)
Calling regarding the difficulty he is having with the
Nixon papers -- the papers of Mrs. Hannah Nixon.
Don Nixon has plainly refused to let him use any of these
papers without the express permission of the President.
He is short on several aspects of the book which is to be
a historical document and has the approval of the White
House -- the Yorba Linda years, the early Whittier years,
RN at Duke and RN in the Navy.
Loie Gaunt has been trying very hard to get them for him.
She, Herb Kalmbach and other people have agreed that he
should have them.
The President simply has to open the door for me.
He is going to see Jack Drown and said he would try to
call back in a couple of hours.
RMw said to tell him to write a letter to the President
attention RMW asking permission and she will pass it on.
Rmw talked to Limo
told him to send
a letter requesting
the
permission to papers see

Dear John:
As per our telephone conversation
this afternoon, I am enclosing my check in the
amount of $75. 00 to cover the cost of 100 copies
of "The Roots of American Discontent."
The President asked me to order
these for his use and to tell you and John Howard
how impressed he was with this work - as I am
sure you will have judged since he wants 100
copies of it.

Please give my best to John - keep
some good wishes for yourself - and let's hope
we will all meet again soon.

Dear Mr. President -
As you know, I am deeply involved in writing the biography
of Mrs. Nixon and at the suggestion of Rose Woods I am
putting my thoughts down in writing to you.
At the moment I am more than half way through the final
draft of the book, which must be finished in another month.
It has been a tremendous experience for me hard, but re-
warding, work.
Now that I've had a chance to find out what a fantastic
person she is something I always knew but not in such detail
I've reached the point where some thoughts by you would be
appropriate. Rather than sitting down for an interview, the
suggestion has been made that there might be a moment or two
in your schedule when you could put down your thoughts about
your wife
what she has meant to you, personally, and to your
public life together
and as parents.
Perhaps your observations might be used as a forward to the
book, or in some such way that might be appropriate.
I'm sure there will be other books written about her, and
she may write her own after eight years in the White House,
but this is the first and we want it to be great. Any suggest-
ions you have along these lines would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
gloria Seelye

Things in the vault atthe Bank of America - Whittier
3 copies of inventory
1 for the President
l for Don Nixon
1 for Ed Nixon
Don Nixon took the President's copy
There are 16 cartons and some photographs
Herb Kalmbach would be willing to talk to Don Nixon
about getting the President's copy if that is the desire.
Helene Drown told Ed Hoyt she would take it up with
Pat Nixon -- he called Loie to say he talked to Helene
Drown again and Pat Nixon told her it was ridiculous and the Presi
President would probably let him have the papers.
Most of the things in the vault are probably the things
the President's mother saved
Ed Hoyt did not seem to think that he had any reference
to people from the Navy and Duke days -- Loie could get
a list ready and talk to RMW about which ones to give him.
Lyman Brownfield
Charlie Rhyne
(Duke)
Jimmy Stewart (Navy)
Hoyt plans to go north on Friday and talk with Jessamyn
West Saturday -- she is very familiar with the early days
and XXX can probably fill him in on some of the things he
feels he is missing.
August 27, 1971 from Loie Gaunt
Ed Hoyt will be back on Monday -- LGG will go through her
notes of her conversations with Evlyn and see what she
has said about what is in the vault.
August 30, 1971
from Loie
Frank deMarco called her to say that he and Herb were
setting up a meeting with Don Nixon this week about
some things they had been assigned to go over with
him.
He asked Loie if there was anything she needed to have
put on the agenda -- she wonders if the matter of the
list of the items in the vault is straightened out or
if she should ask him to include that.
