Dear Henry,

Georgie and I hope your recovery will be complete and speedy. Although we have had the opportunity to spend only a few evenings with you in small groups, each of those occasions has been memorable. Purely and simply put, America cannot afford to be without your leadership. And you offer leadership, whether in or out of government, better than anyone else in this country.

Again, our best wishes,

BP/plg

Dear Mr. Paeschke:

I want you to know how much I ap-
preciated the thoughtful message
wired by your New York office.
It was an extremely gracious gesture
that meant a great deal to me.

Care and Feeding of Your Balloons

Care — You are now the proud owner of this large family of balloons which, when cared for properly, will devote all their energy to lifting your spirits. As a rule, balloons immediately become attached to their new owners and will follow them obediently wherever they are taken without complaining — into elevators, down stairs, or even for a trip in the car.

It should be noted that they do tire of working to make you smile and at the end of the day may droop a little or even lie on the floor to rest. When this happens, DO NOT assume that they have finished their job, pop them, and throw them out with the old newspapers and coffee grinds. Tied together in a bunch, they can be placed in a vase, used as a decorative wall hanging, or arranged as a dinner table center-piece that will last for weeks.

[LC]

**Caution**— Like you and I, balloons would rather be free to travel and see the world than work, and given the opportunity, one or two of the more adventurous ones may misuse the energy intended to lift your spirits and attempt to escape by floating away. Keeping this in mind, tie your balloons securely near you during the first day and get to know them.

**Feeding**— Balloons do not need to be fed, just tug on their strings now and then to show that you appreciate them.
