Secretary of State
Washington, D.C.

Dear Henry;

I have thought about writing to you many times over
the past few years but I guess that there was little that
I could say as an old friend except that you were doing
a fine job.

At this time I can try to empathize with your feelings
that there is so much more to do and the vagaries of the
political system preclude your using all of your talents.

I am sure that the world is a better place because
of you and that there is still much that you can do. I
just wanted you to know that Edith and I wish you the
very best and think often of you.

Incidentally of my four children, three of them are
in medicine, my youngest son is a senior at Harvard and
will be going to medical school in the fall. I am also
a grandfather, my oldest daughter who is a schoolteacher
presented us with a grand daughter almost six years ago.
Time really does fly. Perhaps someday we will get to say
hello again.

In the meantime, I want to wish you the very best,
you deserve it.

Mr. and Mrs. Gregory P. White

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

On the occasion of your departure from the Department of State,
I wanted to add my best wishes to you along with the many you
have already received.

Your departure marks the end of an era that brought hope and light
to your fellow citizens of the world, and a flair, talent, style,
and humor unmatched in our history...with the possible exception
of Benjamin Franklin in whose image you were facetiously cast.
There is truth in most humor, and I thought the parallel most
appropriate.

Thank you for your service to our nation and world, and may you
continue to work for understanding among nations and their leaders.

MR. HENRY KISSINGER
U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE
WASHINGTON, D.C.

DEAR MR. KISSINGER:

FIRST, WE WISH TO THANK YOU FOR THE
GREAT SERVICE YOU HAVE RENDERED TO YOUR COUNTRY DURING
YOUR YEARS AS SECRETARY OF STATE. WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT
YOUR NAME WILL GO DOWN IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
AS ONE OF OUR GREATEST DIPLOMATS. YOUR UNCEASING EFFORTS
HAVE CONTRIBUTED MUCH TO NEARLY EVERY NATION ON EARTH. SO
WE SINCERELY SAY, THANK YOU.

WE DO HOPE THAT YOUR SUCCESSOR CAN FOLLOW AND BEN-
EFIT FROM THE PATTERN YOU HAVE SET. MAY HE TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF YOUR WILLINGNESS TO STAND AT HIS SIDE TO ASSIST HIM IN
THE DIFFICULT DAYS THAT LIE AHEAD OF HIM.

MY FATHER, WHO CELEBRATED HIS NINETY NINETH BIRTHDAY
LAST OCTOBER, WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A PICTURE OF YOU. DAD, FOR
YEARS HAS BEEN A GREAT BELIEVER IN YOU AND YOUR EXAUSTING
EFFORTS. HE IS MAKING A BOOK OF OUR COUNTRY'S GREAT MEN,
BOTH PHOTOGRAPHS AND LETTERS, THAT HE WANTS TO PASS ON TO
OUR GRANDCHILDREN SO THAT THEY MAY HAVE A STRONG CONCEPT
OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

WE WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD AUTOGRAPH
YOUR PICTURE AND SEND IT TO HIM.

Dear Tyler,

I admired your picture in *TIME* and, since I've heard my family speak of your family, thought I would express their thoughts. They and many other American families are shy and seldom speak up but I know that they thank Henry in their hearts for all of the trips, time, advise, decisions and love he has shown for our country. They hope he will not be sad now that he is not so involved so be sure to nuzzle his hand and thump your tail if he looks depressed. And Nancy too has their admiration and thanks.

Good luck, Tyler, in your new adventures. Be careful who you bump with your nose and where, and don't get hairs on Henry's trousers.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

Some years ago, when you were beginning
your work in the White House, I wrote to you
saying how pleased I was with your labors. You
so kindly answered.

I do the same now. You have finished the
course with victory....and the palm of glory.

May I pass on this thought. I looked to
find a saint, one of those vague and fabulous
beings whose every word is an oracle and whose
every deed is a marvel. I find a Secretary of State.

I am a priest and a Jesuit.
