Rose Mary Woods (1917-2005) was the personal secretary for President Richard Nixon from his time in Congress, through his presidency. She emerged on the national stage during the Watergate scandal when gaps were discovered in the White House tapes.

After his resignation, she followed President Nixon to California but returned to Washington to work on Capitol Hill. She passed away in 2005 and a memorial service was held at the Nixon Presidential Library. Signed.

Soft cover. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. No 9 Vol.1 February 1889, ii+153-198+ii ads. Magazine has been protected by card cover by D. green of Charlottesville C.C. On the inside of the card protective cover is a pasted down note reading The Doodles were done by the famous Geo Lacy Hillier and then signed by I assume Mr Green. Title page has been re-backed on edges, pages browning, some rusting around staples. Hillier was known for being very outspoken character in this publication there is pencil remarks on some of the agenda such as his amendment 12 which reads By G. L. Hillier (by permission from the executive): That the (Mr Wilsons) motion adopted at the last Council meeting, abolishing the 25 or 50 miles Championship be and hereby rescinded He put lost over the amendment. Other pencil remarks in the text are out of order lost might agree with another man David negative where he must have been defeated. In the side margin there is written in pen how many were for and again. More importantly there are pencil drawing of faces, I suspect of members of the committee. The drawings are so near to others in George Lacy Hilliers publications such as The Wheel world of 1880 and the Cyclist Christmas annual and yearbook for 1888-89, even down to the lines down the face. The same can be said for the cartoon characters found in the 1880 publication The Wheel world which we also have for sale. In addition to being a multi-distance champion in 1881, he was a member of the Racing Committee of the National Cyclists Union, he was the editor of Bicycling News for which he wrote acerbic and verbose articles. He promoted and judged race meetings and a was a tireless and outspoken critic of those whom he disagreed, which was almost everyone.
