TLS as president signed “RN,” one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, February 26, 1971. Letter to Rex W. Scouten, in full: "While I am sure that every White House social function presents new challenges, the television coverage of the State Dinner in honor of Prime Minister Colombo must certainly have made major demands on your patience and ingenuity as well as your time. The splendid manner in which the whole operation was carried out is a strong testimonial to your ability, and I wanted both to thank you and to congratulate you on an outstanding job." In fine condition. A former secret service agent, Scouten was the White House Chief Usher from 1969 to 1986, and White House Curator from 1986 to 1997.Format: TLS
