The best indication of your success is that,\ndespite the pre-election predictions that Senator Kennedy would get a\nhigher proportion of women voters than we would, the exact opposite\nturned out to be the case when the votes were cast. There is no question\nbut that a major part of the credit for this achievement goes to you and\nothers who gave so much of your time and effort to the activities of our\nwomen's groups in the campaign.\nI only regret that my efforts could not have been just that\nextra bit more effective which would have brought victory for those who\nworked so hard for our cause.\nAs soon as I have made a final decision with regard to my\nplans for the future, I shall take the liberty of letting you know where\nI will be and what I will be doing. I hope we can continue to keep in\ntouch with each other, and I would particularly appreciate it if you will\nwrite me whenever you have any suggestions as to how we can better further\nthe principles and the cause for which we worked in this campaign.\nIn the meantime, Pat joins me in sending our very best wishes\nto you.\nSincerely,\nRichard Nixon\nMrs. Paul Helliwell\n9800 S.
