GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
September 15, 1960
Rec'd 19/16/60
Mr. Robert McCune
Too to help
Nixon-Lodge Headquarters
Box 7398
Washington 4, D. C.
Dear Bob:
A problem concerning material for the campaign for Vice
President Nixon has arisen here in our area inasmuch as
volunteers for Nixon and Lodge have not yet started operating
and are in no position to furnish us with materials and our
own treasury is sadly depleted due to the fact that we have
a local campaign coupled with the expenses incurred with the
August 17 visit.
If at all possible, we should like to receive from your head-
quarters bumper strips, Nixon-Lodge literature and buttons.
Our Treasurer has already expended more than $1,000 for such
literature which goes quite well in this area. It is impera-
tive that we have more inasmuch as Senator Kennedy will visit
Greensboro briefly Saturday of this week and the Democrats
are going to make quite a splash.
If you can help us out in any way it will be deeply appre-
ciated.
Yours very truly,
out
