Eugene J. McCarthy | Typed Letter Signed to Paul and Joanne, thanking them for their support

On the way to the Democratic National Convention, presidential candidate McCarthy thanks Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward for their support: "Before leaving for Chicago, I want to tell you how much I appreciate all the effort you have given to my campaign for the Presidency. I am particularly grateful because I know the personal and professional sacrifices you both have made to work in the campaign. If I lose, it will not because I lacked the support of the nation's best talent. …" McCarthy finished a distant second to Hubert Humphrey on the first ballot of the convention delegates.
