Newsman Harry McLaughlin had a professional and personal relationship with Richard Nixon beginning with the first interview Nixon gave in Washington, D.C. after returning from the GOP convention in 1952 as the party's VP nominee. Back in 1946, when Nixon was first elected to the U.S. House, his parents moved to Menges Mills, York County, PA and McLaughlin knew them which led to his first interview with Nixon in 1952. These five pieces begin with a signed pair of “United States Senate Chamber” passes specifically for seating “ To The Vice President’s Row.” They are filled out in blue ink by another hand to Harry McLaughlin and his young daughter Donna. With black ink signature "Richard Nixon" above printed title Vice President. NM. That same day McLaughlin and daughter visited with Nixon. The second item is a 6.25x10" print used as an insert to the 1953 Eisenhower-Nixon inaugural ceremonies program. This has facsimile signature below the photo and then Nixon inscribed to McLaughlin’s daughter: “To Donna/with best wishes/ from/Richard Nixon.” His pen made a tiny indent through the paper at the bottom stroke of “t” and right margin has sm. faint mark but overall VF displaying NM. Third is “Office of Vice President” stationery typed letter dated six days later for March 19, 1956. This is addressed “Dear Harry” and signed “Dick.” There was, at the time, a serious possibility Eisenhower would select another running mate for 1956 and Nixon's comments clearly reflect this issue. The three paragraphs read in full: “This is just a note to tell you how deeply I appreciated your very thoughtful and generous letter. I do not believe you can possibly imagine how much such expressions of friendship and confidence mean to a man in public life at a time like this. It was good to see you the other day and to meet your beautiful little daughter.” Paper has center fold and a few sm. lt. creases on upper corners. VF. Fourth is May 15, 1956 letter on VP stationery also to McLaughlin. This is signed “Dick Nixon.” The three paragraphs read: “I appreciate your thoughtfulness in telling me about Walter Stauffer’s victory in the primary election, and a copy of my wire to him is enclosed. On one of your visits to Washington, I hope we will have a chance to get together. Miss Woods has given me your messages when you have stopped by the office from time to time. Please give your young daughter a special hello for me.” Left margin has four tiny indent marks upper corner and five lt. tan stain dots .25" or smaller. Right margin has faint .5" diameter stain. Fine. From the collection of newspaper editor Harry McLaughlin and comes with Hake's COA.
