Nixon 20 Broad Street New York City, New York Dear Dick: Congratulations on your great victory. You and I engaged in a great campaign in 1962. In tough campaigns like that sometimes there are residual likes or dislikes that develop. I can only tell you that I have deep admiration for the magnificent comeback that you made. It must have been terribly disappointing, after the close fight you had for the Presidency, to lose in California. You never quit, however; you worked hard in your law business and made a success of it. You made close friends, and now you have achieved the highest office and the confidence of the people of this nation. With all my heart I wish you great success. If there is ever anything, at any time or any place, that I can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to call upon me. This doesn't mean I intend to change my party loyalty. I intend to try in every way to see that my party again takes over in California and the United States. To your wonderful wife and family, my sincere congratulations. Sincerely EDMUND G. BROWN EGB:jr C-x Caccia spl RN:rmw:ma December 19, 1968 Dear Harold: Only the long ordeal of selecting a Cabinet has delayed my response to your very gracious letter of November 6th. Your letter brought back many pleasant memories of our visits during the days you were in Washington, and particularly of that memorable occasion when I came to London for the dedication of the American Chapel of St. Paul's. I was particularly touched by your suggestion that I might have the "qualities that all Englishmen admire -- a capacity to stick it out no matter whether things are going ill or well. " I hope your appraisal is correct because I shall certainly need such qualities in great abundance over the years ahead. I hope that my Administration will see a new era of closer ties between Britain and the United States. As you probably are aware, I am somewhat of an Anglophile. When some of the pessimists proclaim that "Britain is finished" my answer is that no one would make such a comment if he had had the opportunity which has been mine to have known some of the men in the British Foreign Service in posts around the world who, in terms of brains, sophistica- tion and character simply are unsurpassed. Mrs. Nixon joins me in sending our very best wishes to you both. We hope it will not be too long before we meet again. Sincerely, Lord Harold Caccia Provost of Eton College Windsor, England THE PROVOST'S LODGE, ETON COLLEGE, WINDSOR. Personal. 896h St AUN TEL. WINDSOR 66304 6th November, 1968. Dear Dick, While I can still call you that, may I add to the thousands of letters that you will have, and congratulate you on your election as President which has just been confirmed ? As the British Ambassador who was there when you just missed it eight years ago, you must know what pleasure this has given to Nancy and myself. But it is far more than that. Qualities that all Englishmen admire are determination, and a capacity to stick it out no matter whether things are going ill or well. From my time in America I know that these are qualities equally admired in the United States, and with you as President your country will be lucky to have someone at their head who has shown that he has what it takes, and in such abundant measure. Everyone talks of your long experience of Government, and this of course helps. But experience alone will not do what is needed for your country or for the rest of the world as things are. Dogged does it, and that, amongst other things, is why this old 'rugby' friend wants to be among those to send you very many congratulations. All best wishes to Mrs. Nixon and yourself from both of us, and above all, the best of luck. We all need that, and I expect you will think that Mr. President can do with it. Yours sincerely, Land Caccia The Honorable Richard M.Nixon, 20, Broad Street, New York, N.Y. spe JOHN ENGSTEAD PHOTOGRAPHS . 9048 SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD WEST HOLLYWOOD 69. CALIFORNIA November 21, 1968 Miss Rose Mary Woods, Secretary to Mr. Richard M. Nixon Nixon, Mudge, Ross, Guthrie & Alexander 20 Broad Street New York, N. Y. Dear Miss Woods: I noticed a photograph of Mr. Nixon the other day at the home of Mrs. Gail Patrick Jackson. As you know, I never did make the second sitting of Mr. Nixon, as discussed in our correspondence of Feb- ruary 1966. I recently looked over the proofs from the first sitting, selected two or three of the negatives and removed some of the retouching from them. New proofs of these are enclosed. I know your boss will probably need new pictures from time to time - perhaps he could use one of these. Or, of course I'd like to do more photographs of him when he's in California. Anyway, I'm glad our side won, and please give my best to Mr. & Mrs. Nixon. Sincerely, John Engstead my That they one in on JEE STIAD * 16 PHOLOGRAPH DX IOHN ENGSTEAD STEAD at D AD 48 PHOLOGRAPH BY JOHN ENGSTEAD JCM EXC ITEAD X 2 PHOT DGRAPE DM OHN ENGSTEAD MEMORANDUM November 27, 1968 TO: RN FROM: HARLOW Pall Late this evening I had a discussion with exploring frankly whether or not his involvement in the White House would help or injure his career. I assured him of your high personal esteem and of your strong feeling that you would not wish to take any action which could be injurious to him in any way. I am to call him back on Friday, November 29. His reaction was, predictably, "honor, duty, country." I gather he is totally prepared as a career soldier to do without regret whatever the Commander-In-Chief might suggest or request. I am sure he both means and feels that. Perhaps you would wish to give me guidelines on my follow-up conversation with him Friday, to make certain that I do not misrepresent your feelings about this and to insure that I do not carry this beyond your personal desire. CC: Robert Haldeman MEMORANDUM November 24, 1968 TO: RN FROM: HARLOW Bob Murphy will check on Monday, November 25, Dean Rusk's personal feeling toward the Ambassadorship to the United Nations. on Saturday, November 23, Murphy had a long private discus- sion with Rusk about his personal plans. Murphy is very certain that Rusk will have no interest in the U.N. post -- that he has other plans, is tired of government service, and would consider the U.N. Ambassadorship a step down. Nonetheless, on your request, he will mention to Rusk your belief that Rusk would be the finest appointee possible for America to this post -- simply to evidence, as you wished, your high respect and regard for the Secretary. MEMORANDUM November 24, 1968 TO: RN FROM: HARLOW BH I frankly discussed with "Scoop" Jackson whether or not he would be willing to consider serving with your Adminis- tration. He is willing. He has a personal complication: his sister has cancer, just discovered three weeks ago. He doesn't yet know what diffi- culties this may cause, because she is unmarried and largely a charge of the Senator and his wife. He obviously thought I was speaking of the national security area, although I gave him no sign of your area of interest. He stressed that whether or not he became directly involved, he is eager to cooperate fully with you in the national security area. Conclusion: he is highly amenable to an approach from you, and he thinks your interest is national security. LBgspl MEMORANDUM November 24, 1968 TO: RN FROM: HARLOW BH Bob Murphy felt you should know that the President, on the evening of November 23, sent "on his own" a very friendly personal message to General DeGaulle -- the idea being that a national leader is "all alone" in reaching a great decision such as DeGaulle's on the current monetary crisis. Bob believes that when this message becomes public, as would seem to be fairly predictable, it will be probably construed in a number of complicated ways, particularly by the Germans. MEMORANDUM November 24, 1968 TO: RN FROM: HARLOW Spl I find that Strom Thurmond did try to get, but did not get, a firm agreement with LBJ that no additional Supreme Court Justice nominations would be sent to the Senate. GEORGE MURPHY LOS ANGELES OFFICE: CALIFORNIA 300 N. Los ANGELES STREET ROOM 7068 Los ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90012 United States Senate WASHINGTON. D.C. November 18, 1968 The Honorable Richard M. Nixon President-Elect New York, New York Dear Mr. President-Eleet you one our for I have finally calmed down and cooled out enough to concentrate on a letter to tell you how pleased we are because of your election. It was a most remarkable campaign and I feel you handled it with the greatest possible skill, wisdom and proper restraint. I am sorry we did not win more Senate seats, however, we picked up considerable quality, if not quantity, and with what we have, plus the help we can count on from the other side of the aisle, I believe we can have a good productive session. I had hoped very much that we could get South Dakota, Idaho and possibly Indiana but the combined social and labor liberal influence plus a segment of misguided inheritors of big fortunes on the East Coast poured money into these areas in great amounts, particularly the first two. The Indiana situation was affected by an intrastate problem which did our side no good. I was also certain that we were leading in Alaska but during the last two weeks our candidate got himself into a debate with a young, very vocal and attractive democrat and I think that made the difference. The results on the House side greatly disappointed me and since I have not had a chance to discuss reasons with Bob Wilson, I will not comment. I had great hopes that we would get rid of some of the extremists here in California, but here again the Democrats concentrated all their force on a safe, select area while we were using scatter shot and they thereby out- maneuvered US. I look forward to a chance sometime in the future, after your immediate problems have been solved, to talk about some plans for the future in these areas. I am very pleased at the selection of Bryce Harlow and am certain that he will be of great value to you. During our services with the Coordinating Committee and the Republican Policy group he completely gained the respect, confidence and high regard of all. He is an extremely talented, experienced gentleman and I know of few who are as pleasant and thoughtful. The Honorable Richard M. Nixon November 18, 1968 Page 2 The morning paper last week brought added good news concerning your proposed use of Bob Murphy. Here again, he is a tremendous man of experience, wisdom, honesty and dependability. In watching his career for the past 25 years, it always occurred to me that at times when others in his area seemed uncertain as to the proper course of affairs, he never waivered or appeared unsure and always managed his assignments in a way that was good for our side. There is another whose wisdom and talents have greatly impressed me over the last few years and who seems to gain stature and strength as time passes by who also was most effective on the Coordinating Committee. I speak of Tom Dewey and I imagine you will be finding good use for his fine mind and courageous spirit in your new shop. It must be most interesting and remarkable to you to notice all the help you are getting from Evans and Novak, Drew Pearson, and the rest of the group who have consistently opposed us for years. These people constantly amaze me as they seem to have no shame whatsoever or maybe it is just a case of "where there's no sense, there is no feeling." I have had a long talk with Bob Finch and since then have done a great deal of thinking about his situation. I have con- cluded that given the choice he should become active at the highest possible level in the national picture because if we don't get national problems straightened out what happens in the individual states, I am afraid, won't make much difference. With regard to his replacement, I hope to have a chance to discuss that soon with the Governor and might be able to get a complete reading on his feelings in the matter. With regard to Bob's long-range plans, I would like to discuss them with you at your convenience. I have another matter in which I have been interested for about 20 years. Although it does not need your immediate attention, I would like to discuss it with you whenever you are ready. I have discussed it with Bob and I am in the process presently of drawing up a suggested overall plan which I feel you might consider as interesting and important as I do. I won't bother you with it until I have worked it out to Bob's and my satisfaction. The Honorable Richard M. Nixon November 18, 1968 Page 3 I am planning to spend 10 or 12 days touring the state talking to leaders from all areas. Weekends, I will probably stay in Los Angeles and begin planning for next session. If at any time, for any reason, you have use for me, I will be able to cancel whatever is going on here and fly back. In the meantime, give my love to your three girls, get some rest yourself and let somebody else stand out front when the thundering herd starts the stampede. Spare yourself as much as you can and save yourself for the important decisions which you must make and upon which the future of our world will depend. May I say that with you in the White House, I look to this future with the greatest possible confidence and I am certain that your election has been an act of providence which will once again set our great country back on the road to peace, progress, and prosperity. Sincere best wishes.

Nixon\n20 Broad Street\nNew York City, New York\nDear Dick:\nCongratulations on your great victory.\nYou and I engaged in a great campaign in 1962. In tough\ncampaigns like that sometimes there are residual likes\nor dislikes that develop. I can only tell you that I\nhave deep admiration for the magnificent comeback that you\nmade. It must have been terribly disappointing, after the\nclose fight you had for the Presidency, to lose in California.\nYou never quit, however; you worked hard in your law\nbusiness and made a success of it. You made close friends,\nand now you have achieved the highest office and the\nconfidence of the people of this nation.\nWith all my heart I wish you great success. If there is\never anything, at any time or any place, that I can do\nto assist you, please do not hesitate to call upon me.\nThis doesn't mean I intend to change my party loyalty. I\nintend to try in every way to see that my party again takes\nover in California and the United States.\nTo your wonderful wife and family, my sincere congratulations.\nSincerely\nEDMUND G.

As you probably\nare aware, I am somewhat of an Anglophile. When some of the\npessimists proclaim that \"Britain is finished\" my answer is that no\none would make such a comment if he had had the opportunity which\nhas been mine to have known some of the men in the British Foreign\nService in posts around the world who, in terms of brains, sophistica-\ntion and character simply are unsurpassed.\nMrs. Nixon joins me in sending our very best wishes to\nyou both. We hope it will not be too long before we meet again.\nSincerely,\nLord Harold Caccia\nProvost of Eton College\nWindsor, England\nTHE PROVOST'S LODGE,\nETON COLLEGE,\nWINDSOR.\nPersonal.\n896h St AUN\nTEL. WINDSOR 66304\n6th November, 1968.\nDear Dick,\nWhile I can still call you that, may I add to the thousands\nof letters that you will have, and congratulate you on your election\nas President which has just been confirmed ? As the British Ambassador\nwho was there when you just missed it eight years ago, you must know\nwhat pleasure this has given to Nancy and myself. But it is far more\nthan that. Qualities that all Englishmen admire are determination,\nand a capacity to stick it out no matter whether things are going\nill or well. From my time in America I know that these are qualities\nequally admired in the United States, and with you as President\nyour country will be lucky to have someone at their head who has\nshown that he has what it takes, and in such abundant measure.\nEveryone talks of your long experience of Government, and this of\ncourse helps. But experience alone will not do what is needed for\nyour country or for the rest of the world as things are.\nDogged does it, and that, amongst other things, is why this old\n'rugby' friend wants to be among those to send you very many\ncongratulations.\nAll best wishes to Mrs. Nixon and yourself from both\nof us, and above all, the best of luck. We all need that, and I\nexpect you will think that Mr. President can do with it.\nYours sincerely,\nLand Caccia\nThe Honorable Richard M.Nixon,\n20, Broad Street,\nNew York, N.Y.\nspe\nJOHN ENGSTEAD PHOTOGRAPHS . 9048 SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD WEST HOLLYWOOD 69.

I recently looked over the proofs from the\nfirst sitting, selected two or three of the negatives\nand removed some of the retouching from them. New proofs\nof these are enclosed.\nI know your boss will probably need new pictures\nfrom time to time - perhaps he could use one of these.\nOr, of course I'd like to do more photographs of him\nwhen he's in California.\nAnyway, I'm glad our side won, and please give my\nbest to Mr. & Mrs. Nixon.\nSincerely,\nJohn Engstead\nmy That they one\nin\non\nJEE\nSTIAD\n*\n16\nPHOLOGRAPH DX\nIOHN ENGSTEAD\nSTEAD\nat D AD\n48\nPHOLOGRAPH BY\nJOHN ENGSTEAD\nJCM EXC ITEAD\nX\n2\nPHOT DGRAPE DM\nOHN ENGSTEAD\nMEMORANDUM\nNovember 27, 1968\nTO:\nRN\nFROM:\nHARLOW\nPall\nLate this evening I had a discussion with\nexploring frankly whether or not his involvement in the White\nHouse would help or injure his career. I assured him of your\nhigh personal esteem and of your strong feeling that you would\nnot wish to take any action which could be injurious to him in\nany way.\nI am to call him back on Friday, November 29.\nHis reaction was, predictably, \"honor, duty, country.\" I gather\nhe is totally prepared as a career soldier to do without regret\nwhatever the Commander-In-Chief might suggest or request. I am\nsure he both means and feels that.\nPerhaps you would wish to give me guidelines on my follow-up\nconversation with him Friday, to make certain that I do not\nmisrepresent your feelings about this and to insure that I do\nnot carry this beyond your personal desire.\nCC: Robert Haldeman\nMEMORANDUM\nNovember 24, 1968\nTO:\nRN\nFROM:\nHARLOW\nBob Murphy will check on Monday, November 25, Dean Rusk's\npersonal feeling toward the Ambassadorship to the United\nNations.\non Saturday, November 23, Murphy had a long private discus-\nsion with Rusk about his personal plans. Murphy is very\ncertain that Rusk will have no interest in the U.N. post\n-- that he has other plans, is tired of government service,\nand would consider the U.N. Ambassadorship a step down.\nNonetheless, on your request, he will mention to Rusk your\nbelief that Rusk would be the finest appointee possible\nfor America to this post -- simply to evidence, as you\nwished, your high respect and regard for the Secretary.\nMEMORANDUM\nNovember 24, 1968\nTO:\nRN\nFROM:\nHARLOW\nBH\nI frankly discussed with \"Scoop\" Jackson whether or not\nhe would be willing to consider serving with your Adminis-\ntration.\nHe is willing.\nHe has a personal complication: his sister has cancer, just\ndiscovered three weeks ago. He doesn't yet know what diffi-\nculties this may cause, because she is unmarried and largely\na charge of the Senator and his wife.\nHe obviously thought I was speaking of the national security\narea, although I gave him no sign of your area of interest.\nHe stressed that whether or not he became directly involved,\nhe is eager to cooperate fully with you in the national\nsecurity area.\nConclusion: he is highly amenable to an approach from you,\nand he thinks your interest is national security.\nLBgspl\nMEMORANDUM\nNovember 24, 1968\nTO:\nRN\nFROM:\nHARLOW\nBH\nBob Murphy felt you should know that the President, on the\nevening of November 23, sent \"on his own\" a very friendly\npersonal message to General DeGaulle -- the idea being that\na national leader is \"all alone\" in reaching a great decision\nsuch as DeGaulle's on the current monetary crisis.\nBob believes that when this message becomes public, as would\nseem to be fairly predictable, it will be probably construed\nin a number of complicated ways, particularly by the Germans.\nMEMORANDUM\nNovember 24, 1968\nTO:\nRN\nFROM:\nHARLOW\nSpl\nI find that Strom Thurmond did try to get, but did not\nget, a firm agreement with LBJ that no additional Supreme\nCourt Justice nominations would be sent to the Senate.\nGEORGE MURPHY\nLOS ANGELES OFFICE:\nCALIFORNIA\n300 N. Los ANGELES STREET\nROOM 7068\nLos ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90012\nUnited States Senate\nWASHINGTON. D.C.\nNovember 18, 1968\nThe Honorable Richard M. Nixon\nPresident-Elect\nNew York, New York\nDear Mr. President-Eleet\nyou one our for\nI have finally calmed down and cooled out enough to\nconcentrate on a letter to tell you how pleased we are because\nof your election. It was a most remarkable campaign and I\nfeel you handled it with the greatest possible skill, wisdom\nand proper restraint.\nI am sorry we did not win more Senate seats, however,\nwe picked up considerable quality, if not quantity, and with\nwhat we have, plus the help we can count on from the other\nside of the aisle, I believe we can have a good productive\nsession. I had hoped very much that we could get South Dakota,\nIdaho and possibly Indiana but the combined social and labor\nliberal influence plus a segment of misguided inheritors of\nbig fortunes on the East Coast poured money into these areas\nin great amounts, particularly the first two. The Indiana\nsituation was affected by an intrastate problem which did our\nside no good. I was also certain that we were leading in\nAlaska but during the last two weeks our candidate got himself\ninto a debate with a young, very vocal and attractive democrat\nand I think that made the difference.\nThe results on the House side greatly disappointed me and\nsince I have not had a chance to discuss reasons with Bob Wilson,\nI will not comment. I had great hopes that we would get rid\nof some of the extremists here in California, but here again\nthe Democrats concentrated all their force on a safe, select\narea while we were using scatter shot and they thereby out-\nmaneuvered US.\nI look forward to a chance sometime in the future, after\nyour immediate problems have been solved, to talk about some\nplans for the future in these areas.\nI am very pleased at the selection of Bryce Harlow and\nam certain that he will be of great value to you. During our\nservices with the Coordinating Committee and the Republican\nPolicy group he completely gained the respect, confidence and\nhigh regard of all. He is an extremely talented, experienced\ngentleman and I know of few who are as pleasant and thoughtful.\nThe Honorable Richard M. Nixon\nNovember 18, 1968\nPage 2\nThe morning paper last week brought added good news\nconcerning your proposed use of Bob Murphy. Here again, he\nis a tremendous man of experience, wisdom, honesty and\ndependability. In watching his career for the past 25 years,\nit always occurred to me that at times when others in his area\nseemed uncertain as to the proper course of affairs, he never\nwaivered or appeared unsure and always managed his assignments\nin a way that was good for our side.\nThere is another whose wisdom and talents have greatly\nimpressed me over the last few years and who seems to gain\nstature and strength as time passes by who also was most\neffective on the Coordinating Committee. I speak of Tom Dewey\nand I imagine you will be finding good use for his fine mind\nand courageous spirit in your new shop.\nIt must be most interesting and remarkable to you to notice\nall the help you are getting from Evans and Novak, Drew Pearson,\nand the rest of the group who have consistently opposed us for\nyears. These people constantly amaze me as they seem to have\nno shame whatsoever or maybe it is just a case of \"where there's\nno sense, there is no feeling.\"\nI have had a long talk with Bob Finch and since then have\ndone a great deal of thinking about his situation. I have con-\ncluded that given the choice he should become active at the\nhighest possible level in the national picture because if we\ndon't get national problems straightened out what happens in the\nindividual states, I am afraid, won't make much difference.\nWith regard to his replacement, I hope to have a chance to\ndiscuss that soon with the Governor and might be able to get\na complete reading on his feelings in the matter.\nWith regard to Bob's long-range plans, I would like to\ndiscuss them with you at your convenience. I have another matter\nin which I have been interested for about 20 years. Although\nit does not need your immediate attention, I would like to discuss\nit with you whenever you are ready. I have discussed it with\nBob and I am in the process presently of drawing up a suggested\noverall plan which I feel you might consider as interesting and\nimportant as I do. I won't bother you with it until I have\nworked it out to Bob's and my satisfaction.\nThe Honorable Richard M. Nixon\nNovember 18, 1968\nPage 3\nI am planning to spend 10 or 12 days touring the state\ntalking to leaders from all areas. Weekends, I will probably\nstay in Los Angeles and begin planning for next session. If\nat any time, for any reason, you have use for me, I will be\nable to cancel whatever is going on here and fly back.\nIn the meantime, give my love to your three girls, get\nsome rest yourself and let somebody else stand out front when\nthe thundering herd starts the stampede. Spare yourself as\nmuch as you can and save yourself for the important decisions\nwhich you must make and upon which the future of our world will\ndepend.\nMay I say that with you in the White House, I look to this\nfuture with the greatest possible confidence and I am certain\nthat your election has been an act of providence which will\nonce again set our great country back on the road to peace,\nprogress, and prosperity.\nSincere best wishes.\nSincerely,\nMurph'\nGeorge Murphy\nGM/je\nC X\nCabinet\nJanuary 13, 1969\nma\nDear Governor:\nIt was most heartwarming and\nencouraging to receive your telegram\nconcerning the introduction of my Cabinet.\nAs we undertake the great\nresponsibility of providing new leadership\nfor America, messages such as yours will\nbe a constant source of strength and\ninspiration in the years ahead.\nThe members of the Cabinet\njoin me in thanking you for your message,\nand I know they will all strive to be\nworthy of the confidence you have expressed\nin them.\nwith best wishes,\nSincerely,\nThe Honorable John Connally\nAustin\nTexas\nCLASS OF SERVICE\nWESTERN UNION\nSYMBOLS\nThis * a fast message\nDL=Day Letter\nunless its deferred char-\nNL=Night Letter\nacter is indicated by the\nproper symbol.\nTELEGRAM\nLP\nInternational\nLetter Telegram\n®\n75-A\nThe filing time shown in the date line on domestic telegrams is LOCAL TIME at point of origin.
