On April 3, 1974, the day before the Washington Post printed its famous cartoon of President Richard Nixon holding a sign that said "I Am Not A Crook", Rose Mary Woods, Nixon's Executive Assistant and Personal Secretary, sent this letter to Robert Nesen, the U.S. Ambassador to Australia. Woods was often called Nixon's "gatekeeper". The letter is accompanied by a copy of an article in the Ladies Home Journal by the President's daughter Tricia Nixon, entitled "My Father and Watergate". The letter, and article were an obvious attempt to rally the troops as Nixon's White House was under siege by the media, the democratic party and increasingly, by the American public. "I is my feeling that you will find Tricia's statement to be an eloquent expression of how a daughter views her father during this particular time. I know you will feel, like i do, that is a moving , meaningful article." The letter is signed by Rose Mary Woods on White House letterhead and dated April 3, 1974 as her boss Richard Nixon faced impeachment and controversy that would soon topple his Administration. Includes the signed letter by Rose Mary Woods, a three page copy sent my Ms Woods to the U.S. Ambassador to Australia, and the original White House envelope.
Historical Notes
From the text of the article: "Accusation without proof, accusation by unnamed so-called sources, accusation by rumor, i just often a license to libel and lie.... We know, as he has told the American people, that he neither planned nor covered up Watergate."
