Dear Mr. Secretary:

Under separate cover, you shortly will be receiving
a copy of **Union and Confidence: the 1860's**, published by
our subsidiary, T. Y. Crowell Company, Inc.

The book was written by Dr. Harold M. Hyman, a
Civil War historian, who has produced a thoughtful volume
on one of the most provocative decades in American
history.

Printed in limited edition for friends of our company,
the book is also being distributed to college libraries and
to government officials, like yourself, who have an inter-
est in the past as well as in the future of our company.

I hope you will find the book an interesting addition
to your library.

Very truly yours,

Henry in Drake

Draft reply to the Mayor of Montreal from the Secretary

Dear Mr. Mayor:

Thank you very much for your thoughtful gesture
in sending me the book of photos and other material
on my visit to Montreal in August. It was a very
pleasant occasion for me and you have given me
splendid mementos. As you surmised, David was
especially delighted to see the pictures.

It was good to see you again in Ottawa at
Minister MacEachen's gala dinner. I wish continued
success to you and to your marvelous city of Montreal.

Best regards,

U. S. A.

Dear Mr. Secretary of State:

The signing of the agreement
between Egypt and Israel was another of your great triumphs
and I was very happy for you. I hope you are too. Your
admirers everywhere in the world are elated by your achie-
vement, not to say jubilant.

For myself, I am delighted
to have come to know you on a much less momentous level.
Enclosed is the photo record of your visit here. If
the album is relatively slender, it is because you were
with us for much too short a time! While each picture
doubtlessly recalls its pleasant moment, the best picture
of all is not in the album but on pages 6 and 7 of the
weekly bulletin published by the workers on the Olympic
site. To paraphrase the paragraph on page 11, your pre-
sence was an "Olympic" shot in the arm.

I am also enclosing the text
of my presentation of the toast to the President of the
United States, a tape of our two short addresses and
copies of newspaper reports. I hope both you and your
son enjoy all this coverage. It was a pleasure for me
to meet him. I am very glad he came.

Needless to say, your visit
was an exhilarating and unforgettable event in the annals
of my City. We are left with the best of excellent memories.

Dear Mrs. Andrews,

At the Farewell Reception in honour of Austrian Chancellor Dr. Kreisky I recalled to the Secretary of State my open invitation to him and Mrs. Kissinger to all Philadelphia Orchestra Concerts and inquired whether they would be in Washington, Monday December 16th P.M.

The Secretary of State graciously responded he thought they would be in town and said they would like to attend the Concert only, which begins at 8:30 P.M. Sharp. ( The dinner tendered by the Austrian Ambassador and Madame Halusz in honour of my concert guests is in their Residence at 6:15 P.M.) Dr. Kissinger asked to be reminded by you of this Concert following his return to Washington .

If the Secretary and Mrs. Kissinger can definitely come and honour us with their charming presence, please be so kind and telephone me at your earliest convenience as the seating arrangements in the Concert Hall for the 12 Ambassadors and their wives naturally depend on whether the Secretary of State and Mrs. Kissinger as guests of honour will attend or are unable to do so. My private unlisted number is 332-5180.

I shall then bring to your office, as I did last year, two tickets in my Boxes 6/8 which are jointly with and adjacent to Boxes 2/4 of Maestro and Mrs. Ormandy, with the entrance to the right of Box Number One.

With all good wishes for a less laborious and joyful holiday season for you and a Happier Peaceful New Year 1975, I remain,

Mrs. Bonnie Andrews,
Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of State,

Dear Mrs. Secretary,

May I extend in this manner a cordial invitation to all Philadelphia Orchestra Concerts of their 1974/1975 Season in the Concert Hall of the Kennedy Center and in particular request the honour of you and your lovely wife's company at the First Concert on Monday Evening October the fourteenth, 1974.

Preceeding this first Concert, Their Excellencies The Ambassador of Chile and Mrs. Heitmann have graciously offered to tender a formal dinner in their Residence at a quarter after six o'clock. At the Concert they will be seated with you in my Boxes Number 6 and 8 which are, as you may recall adjacent to the Conductor's Boxes 2 and 4. We are inviting several Envoys and their charming wives. Sharing Mrs. Kissinger's preference for privacy I have during many years never released to the press the names of those honouring us at these Soirées Musicales. I hope you will be in Washington on October 14th and able to enjoy this Mozart-Bruckner Program selected by the talented Italian guest conductor Claudio Abbado (whom Ambassador and Madame Ortona have known since his boyhood) as these exquisite compositions evoke joy and spiritual exultation.

Looking forward to the honour of your company and to meeting your charming wife, I remain with the expression of my highest esteem and prayerful wishes for your continued success, so vital to terrestrial mankind,

Re: Victoria Driscoll

I have known Victoria Kay Driscoll for four and a half years and have the greatest respect for her integrity and intellect. She was hired to care for my children during my frequent visits to California with the President, but her talents are not fully employed when she is serving only as a companion to children. She has a lively and creative mind, a high sense of responsibility and irreproachable character. I have trusted her completely with the personal safety and comfort of my family.

I have known of her academic career thus far only because I have been interested in her and we talk frequently about her studies when she is working for me. I know of no details of her student work except that she received her bachelor's degree magna cum laude. I have the greatest faith in her judgment and reasoning and intellectual ability and would consider her an outstanding candidate for advanced studies.

Dear Henry,

Re-reading Margaret Yourcenar's MEMOIRS OF HADRIAN, I came across a passage that struck me as apropos for you. I pass it along for the rather substantial encouragement there may be in it:

"But each hour of calm was a victory gained, though
precarious like all victories; each dispute
arbitrated served as precedent and pledge for the
future. It mattered little to me that the accord
obtained was external, imposed from without and perhaps
temporary; I knew that good like bad becomes a
routine, that the temporary tends to endure, that what
is external permeates to the inside, and that mask,
given time, comes to be the face itself. Since hatred,
stupidity, and delirium have lasting effects, I saw
no reason why good will, clarity of mind and just
practice would not have their effects, too."

(P. 99)

Keep up the miracles. We can all use 'em.

With admiration and best regards,

Dubs, Adolph
