TO:
Mrs. Nixon
FROM:
The President
I would like for Tricia and you to look over
the Executive Office Building office with the decorator and
lay out a plan for me. I want particularly a properly pro-
portioned table or desk where I can comfortably do some
writing, and a big comfortable chair similar to the one I
now have in the Lincoln Sitting Room. I also want the
picture rack from New York, and would like to get pictures
of the family properly framed so that I can put them either
on the desk or on a side table. In addition to those pictures,
some of the autographed pictures that I have from the house
and also the ones from Eisenhower and Hoover which are in
my office in New York should be included.
In decorating the personal office which I will
use will you also give the decorator instructions with regard
to the bigger room which will be used as a sitting room and
the reception room which is right next to it. I would like to
have a pretty good book shelf so that I can put some of my
favorite books from the library in New York there. For
example, Toynbee, Churchill, Lincoln and some of the others
which were in my library directly behind my desk.
