THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

February 25, 1967

Dear Cy:

I was distressed to learn that you must undergo
another round of hospitalization.

I pray with you that the medical experts find
the means to lift the burden you have born so
bravely and so long. Our prayers are with
you and you are constantly in our thoughts.

This nation needs all your strength. I need the
confidence your abilities and loyalty have always
guaranteed. Let our good wishes sustain you--
and speed you through to success.

Mrs. Johnson shares in the little gift of flowers.
We hope they cheer you and Gay.

Honorable Cyrus R. Vance
Walter Reed Hospital
Bethesda, Maryland
