MEMORANDUM FOR:

THROUGH:
Mrs. Nancy Howe
FROM:
Sanford L. Fox
After considerable contemplation on my part, and discussion with
my wife, Lucile, I have decided to retire from my position on your
staff, effective December 31, 1974. This has been a difficult
decision, but one that I have been considering for over two years,
so it is not made in haste. Since I am the fourth person to hold this
position since 1881, I reflect with pride at the high artistic standard
and integrity of this office and my predecessors who have served the
Presidents and First Families since the Garfield Administration.
As I prepare to leave, I would like to respectfully suggest the
following individuals to fill the vacancies created:
William T. Gemmell, GS-12, Assistant Chief, Social Enter-
tainments Office, be promoted to GS-13, as Administrative Officer
&
FORD
(head of the Social Entertainments Office),
DERALD
Linnauy
Janice M. Ingersoll, GS-11, Assistant in the Social Office,
be promoted to GS-12, Assistant Chief, Social Entertainments Office.

Dear Mrs. Ford,
It is with great regret that I ask you to consider and accept
my resignation as Social Secretary to the First Lady.
As I am sure you know, I am honored to have served you and
the President since you were kind enough to appoint me
Social Secretary in October 1974.
I hope you and the President will understand only the most
personal reasons would cause me to write this letter; among
them are my recent marriage, our purchase of a new home,
mine and my husband's desire to spend more time together,
and the serious ill health of my own dear mother.
My service with you will always remain a treasured memory.
Sincerely,
Nancy Ruwe
