EHRLICHMAN, JOHN D., Imsge-Sent/B
February 21, 1973
Dear Bob:
I've waited too long to answer your kind note of
February first.
Every once in a while around here, as you know, you
have a judgment, make a decision, do a thing that works
out so well that you tuck it away in your collection of
satisfactions as perhaps one of the reasons that it was
worthwhile for you to give up whatever you gave up to be
here. My hunches and impressions about you back there
in those campaign days are in that category.
You made a tremendous contribution to the first term and
to the President's development as President. I'm sure
you know that, feel it, draw satisfaction from it, but I do
too.
You and Sallie are a couple of good things that have happened
to us around here and to the extent that I had anything to do
with your being here I am happy, satisfied and proud.
My door is always open to you, of course. I want to know
what you're thinking about from time to time and I hope
you'll drop me a note whenever you have something on your
mind. I also want to remain your friend and hope that on a
strictly social basis we can keep in touch over the years.

I have visions of Sallie down there in her kitchen, whippin'
up cookies, rearranging the furniture and packing fishing
trip picnics. I hope this return home is everything that
you both wish it to be and that, at the same time, you find
it possible to keep us all in your lives to some extent.
Sincere thanks and best regards.
Yours sincerely,
John D. Ehrlichman
Assistant to the President

Dear John:
It is with special sense of gratitude and appreciation that I write you this
letter. These past four years have been the most exciting and rewarding
of my life.
Needless to say, I never thought that meeting you back in Akron, Ohio
during the '68 campaign would have such a profound effect on my life.
Sallie and I have thoroughly enjoyed the relationship which we have shared
with you, Jean and the family.
In the days ahead, I look forward to working with you in this great
enterprise of making government work for our people. I wish you
God speed in all of your endeavors. Of course I will be willing, ready,
and able to assist you whenever and wherever you wish.
Thank you for making it possible for me to help so many of my fellowmen.
I shall never forget it.
Mot Sincerely,
Robert J. Brown
Honorable John Ehrlichman
Assistant to the President
