[0:00] I've been sending these notes to hands up in any room at all.
[0:12] There'll be a half a dozen of them.
[0:14] I'm trying to give guidance to, uh, BMW and Ray Price in what I know is the hardest and difficult task of responding to letters from old friends and celebrity types.
[0:26] I very much hope that, uh,
[0:27] The mail will be carefully culled in this respect so that we get the proper first names on the old grounds.
[0:42] And where the letters, where it calls for, where the situation calls for it, we will promote it into one of the letters.
[0:51] We realize that most of it would be impossible to do so.
[0:54] Great.
[0:55] That's kind of my commitment.
[0:56] But on the other hand, I'm not sure how much personal education we'll get out of it.
[1:17] I'm surprised at how much personal education we'll get out of it.
[1:18] We're going to have more, more of it is more.

[1:54] Very kind, very graciously, Circus Ice Cream.
[2:12] Support has been a great deal.
[2:14] Thank you.
[2:18] Support.
[2:19] Support.
[2:19] Support.
[2:23] Support.
[2:23] regrets that our mutual friend, metal silver, only won the 1968 election.
[2:47] If I had lunch with him the day I was nominated for vice president in 1952, and again on the day I was nominated for vice president in San Francisco in 1986, if I had lunch with him in 1960,
[2:54] They might have struck me down as a big jackass.
[3:02] So, uh, everything worked out all right again.
[3:04] Our bad judgment is sending our best to Nancy and the group.
