Mrs. Johnson responds to a letter of condolence on the passing of President Lyndon B Johnson: "Dear Clarence [in ink over the typed "Mr Mitchell"] Lyndon would be so happy to have you remember him as you do. He enjoyed working with you toward advancement in the field of Civil Rights and only regretted that he couldn't do more. Your coming to the recent symposium meant a great deal to him. . .and you caring now means so much to us. Our heartfelt thanks for your faith and friendship. . .and for your real sympathy. Sincerely [the rest in ink] and gratefully, Lady Bird Johnson."
