Tricia's husband Edward Cox arrived at the White House from New York to join his wife, Mrs. Nixon, Julie and David Eisenhower in the family quarters. That gathering, too, signaled the fast-approaching end of the Nixon presidency. Rumors of resignation caused banner headlines and dominated news broadcasts. The stock market rallied again, with the Dow Jones industrials rising almost 24 points. Crowds gathered along the fences surrounding the White House; mostly somber and curious, they had the quiet air of a death watch.

On Thursday, David Eisenhower and Edward Cox bade occasionally damp-eyed goodbyes to members of the White House staff they had come to know over the past several years. Friday morning was even more difficult. As Nixon took a long, emotional farewell of the White House staff, the girls had to struggle to keep their composure; even Mrs. Nixon seemed on the verge of losing her almost uncanny air of calm.
