Gentlemen:

This is a request to obtain a
few representative photographs of the Secretary of
State, Dr. Henry A. Kissinger.

A creative and highly successful artist, my brother, Albert Nemethy, recently completed several portraits of leading personalities: the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of the State of Israel. These paintings were presented to the White House and President Nixon expressed his pleasure in accepting them. The copies of the White House documents about this presentation are attached.

Having successfully completed
these portraits Albert now has the intention of paint-
ing the portrait of the Secretary of State.

Forwarding this request to the
appropriate department or section, I am sure, some
good black and white press photos of Dr. Kissinger
could be found which may serve as model to this un-
dertaking.

The photos, returnable if you
wish, may be mailed immediately to Mr. Albert Nemethy
to his studio: Johnson, New York, 10933.

In behalf of my brother I thank
you very much for taking care of this request.

Dr. Lancelot L. Nemethy

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

November 9, 1973

Dear Mr. Nemethy:

Thank you for your great courtesy and thoughtfulness, and that of
your brother, Laslo, and your daughter, Georgina, in presenting
to the President the five beautiful paintings you recently delivered
to the White House.

It was a real privilege for me to accept these beautifully framed
and lovely works of art on behalf of the President. Although the
rules of protocol made it inappropriate for the President to present
to her personally during her recent state visit the painting of Prime
Minister Golda Meir, I know that this excellent likeness will be an
outstanding part of the Presidential gift collection.

Enclosed are photographs which I hope will serve as a pleasant
memento of this presentation. It was a special privilege to meet
you and the other members of your family.

With thanks and best wishes, I am

Mr. Albert F. Nemethy

Dear Mr. Secretary:

My husband and I appreciate the good work you are doing for all of us. May we add our thanks to that of your multitude of admirers? Here seem to be some who do not appreciate the great job you are doing for our country. Please remember that our wonderful Saviour, Jesus Christ, was not only not appreciated but was crucified for our sins.

Have you heard about "The Triumph Of God's Love?" It tells of the past and the present, and, in the last five chapters, of the final events of this earth's history according to prophesy, as well as some of the laws that will soon by our leaders.

Please accept this copy as a gift from one who treasures religious freedom. We pray that you will read it and then write us on your thoughts about it.

Revelation 6:14-17 and Isaiah 25:9 tell us of the two classes of people that will be on this earth when our wonderful Saviour comes to gather His faithful. I pray that your family and ours will be among that noble and happy throng spoken of in Isaiah 25:9.

We want you to know that we love you and pray for you every day asking the Lord to bless and guide you. We are Seventh Day Adventist Christians and want you to know that our people love you and that our Lord Jesus loves you even more.

With Christian love,

Hilda Nesbitt

Dear Cousin Henry:

First let me introduce myself; your cousin, Jack Newhouse, who recently passed away, was married to my first cousin, Martha Neuhaus, who, as you know, lived in New York. Having followed your career in the newspaper and being aware of the tremendous pressures you must be under when in Washington, I thought you might perhaps be interested in slipping away and enjoying a nice quiet, peaceful evening. Therefor, I am extending to you and your good wife an invitation to dinner, at your convenience, or perhaps just to spend an evening, if you prefer. We are only forty miles from Washington which should make it easy for you to drop over if you feel so inclined.

Please let me know when you receive this letter if you and Nancy can arrange to come over one evening and when it would be convenient for you.

Looking forward to hearing from you, I remain,

Dear Henry,

This is a personal letter; hence the address.

I have read with great emotion the text of your press conference in Salzburg, and I feel impelled to write to you and to tell you how much I support you, not only as one of your ambassadors but, even more, as your friend. I also echo the feelings of my colleagues.

Goethe has rightly said, "politisch Lied, ein garstig Lied," and this has not changed. I am certain that these unfair pinpricks will not diminish your enormous achievements, which already have a solid place in history. But there will always be those who can enhance themselves only by trying to bring down those bigger than themselves. I am confident they will not succeed.

Through your historic achievements you have now become our principal national resource. I beg you not to overlook the fact that no resource is limitless in supply, and I hope therefore that you will find it possible to take an occasional holiday to recharge your batteries. We need you at the helm.

With admiration, best wishes and warm personal regards,

The Honorable
Henry A. Kissinger,
Secretary of State,
Washington, D.C.

Dear Henry:

Just a note to wish you all the best for Christmastime.

I've been following your travels in the press with concern for your health and awe at your performance! The Pilgrim speech I thought had just the right symbols and tone and I must say I admired your ability to resist the temptation I had felt to tell them all to go . . . .

So sorry I missed your working lunch on Europe. I had a class that day and the guy who had said he'd take it for me got the flu. Stanley Hoffman gave me a bit of a fill-in, but I'd much rather have been there myself.

When I was in England in September I gained the impression that the P.M.'s attitudes were heavily influenced by his sense of being the only European in Her Majesty's Government, to say nothing of the country -- or Europe either -- and at the same time being economically so insecure that what the French and Germans might do for him seemed more interesting than anything you had to offer.

But far too much has happened since for those impressions to be the least use now.

So I offer no advice for the New Year, only cheers.
Take care.

Warmly,

Honorable Henry A. Kissinger
Secretary of State

Dear Henry:

It was good indeed to see you yesterday and to hear you. I'm very sorry to have had to leap up and dash out before you were done, partly because it was an interruption and partly because I didn't get a chance to chat. But I had to go chair a meeting for which I was already late, and as you know from your experience up here it's less *trouble* to be discourteous to the Secretary of State than to one's academic colleagues!

I shall be down in Washington a couple of times this spring and if I may I'll call your office to find out if you're in town and free for a minute of chat. If so, I'll come by. The last thing in the world I want to do is interrupt your busy schedule. So be harsh about it!

Listening to your exposition yesterday I only had one thought worth noting now and as not infrequently happens it's technical, also political. For heaven's sake be careful of your timing in the month of June, caught as you are between the California primary and the meetings of the Democratic Convention Standing Committees. If I were in your position, I'd be thinking long and lovingly about the precise moment to announce an agreement if there were one to announce (to say nothing of the signing of the document and where and when!). Anyway, I'm sure you've thought of all that, or will.

My warm regards. We read with distress of your wife's enforced surgery. I hope it does the trick just right and that she is fully recovered soon.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

On the eve of my departure for Indonesia, I wish to express my appreciation to you for the interest you have shown in this assignment. At the same time I wish, as one who has followed your diplomacy with great admiration particularly in the Middle East, to extend every wish for your continuing success in attacking some of the world's most difficult problems.

I have conveyed to Secretary Rush and to the NSC staff some thoughts on the issues facing us in Indonesia. I go to this post impressed with the importance of this country and grateful for the confidence which you and the President have demonstrated in me. I have every hope that I can continue to maintain the very good relations which have been built up over recent years with Indonesia.

I also left with Secretary Rush a special plea that the Africans not be forgotten in the pressures of your other problems. I know some special personal attention on your part from time to time will be important in our total relationship to the continent.

Dear Mr. Commissioner:

I would like to thank you most warmly for the
two handsome pieces of ivory sculpture you presented
to me in Washington. They are unique and very beauti-
ful examples of Zairian artistry, and I will treasure
them both.

I feel our breakfast meeting was a very con-
structive one, and it was a great personal pleasure
to see you again.

Nguza Karl-I-Bond,
