Expressions of Support, July-November 1973

Subseries 3 consists of cards and letters of support sent to Vice President Agnew in the months preceding and following his resignation from office by a broad, bi-partisan spectrum of the American public. The bulk of the correspondence is comprised of sympathy cards and personal letters expressing regret and sadness at Mr. Agnew's decision to resign. Many of the letters are critical of President Nixon for his lack of support for Agnew at this crucial time in his career. Numerous correspondents also criticize the moral values of other prominent political figures. A substantial number of form letters from the Greek community are scattered throughout the subseries, expressing support of Mr. Agnew by virtue of his Greek heritage.

Also included in the subseries are cards and letters wishing Mr. Agnew a happy birthday, samples of form letters that Mr. Agnew used to respond to letters of support, and various lists of individuals who sent correspondence.
