Dear Bird,
If you even begin to look over all of the material I must have sent the last few days, you won’t have time to write me a line. I rather suspect that accounts for my not receiving letters yesterday and today.
Today I’m having sent to you two books which you may enjoy. If too suggestive save them until later. The National Capitol book should give you what you don’t already have about this beautiful place. The Congressional Cook book may only serve to remind you of interesting and important people. If either provide you with any entertainment my efforts will have been sufficiently

rewarded.
Think I’ll send Gene the Capitol book and presume enough to send her mother the cook book.
If you want me to I’m going to send you a pretty little book “Nazism”.
Adios
Lyndon Baines
