Richard Nixon Typed Letter Signed TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, November 21, 1989. Letter to Anthony Susnick, in full: “Your taking the time to write as you did regarding my trip to China was most thoughtful. I greatly appreciated your very generous comments. Mrs. Nixon joins me in sending our very best wishes.” Nixon adds a postscript: “P.S. I thought you might be interested in the enclosed column by Bill Safire which appeared in the New York Times after my trip to China.” In fine condition. This letter refers to Nixon’s October 1989 trip to China, just after the Tiananmen Square massacre in which Chinese government soldiers killed hundreds of students and other citizens protesting Communist oppression. The trip was the sixth of Nixon’s seven visits to China, and he warned China not to sink into a 'backwater of oppression.' Through the years Nixon had opened the door for important U.S. trade with China, making his first trip when he was president in 1972. Susnick was an independent filmmaker who often wrote to politicians. Safire wrote in part in his 1989 article, 'By traveling as a private citizen, he (Nixon) could be the most special envoy: unofficial, above politics, even above diplomacy.'
