Honorable Frederick B. Dent
Secretary of Commerce

Dear Fred:
I regret that on October 10th, for luncheon, I have had
a long-scheduled meeting to personally accompany Dean
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
Erwin S. Griswold, recently retired Solicitor General, to
a luncheon with my Harvard Law School classmates of 1950,
and therefore must decline your kind invitation to a farewell
lunch for George Bush.
I would appreciate it if you would tell him how personally
disappointed I am not to be present at the lunch as a result of
this conflict. I thank you for the invitation.
Yours sincerely,
Jun John K. Tabor
Continued success and satisfaction to you
George, and to Barbara.

Dear Gene:
Just a quick note to thank you for that spectacularly
named pair of pliers. Every amateur carpenter should
buy them.
It was good seeing you here. Please let me know if
we can ever be of help. Give my best to Chris.

Ambassador George Bush
Chief
United States Liaison Office
Peking, People's Republic of China
Dear Ambassador Bush:
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
I have just been informed that I have been
selected to replace Herb Horowitz in the Economic
Section of the Liaison Office in Peking. I am
most pleased by the assignment to Peking, which
I have hoped for since I started studying Chinese.
I am particularly glad of the opportunity to work
for you in the Liaison Office, since many in USUN have
spoken of you with great respect and affection.
I shall write John Holdridge and others about
details of our assignment and life in Peking. From
the Post Report, it sounds like the old Foreign Service.
Once again I should like to express my pleasure
at assignment to USLO and at the opportunity of working
with you and your staff.
Sincerely,
am Mornal

Dear Marguerite:
Thanks for your good letter of November 26. I wish
I could help you with your request on how to turn
around the Office of Child Development. My big
suggestion would be to get in touch with Don Rumsfeld,
the new Chief of Staff at the White House. He's very
sensitive on this kind of issue and would be of great
help. If I were back in Washington, I could make a
phone call or two to help, but as it is I'm on the
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
other side of the world.
Your letter was great. I am glad you're so thoroughly
and actively involved.
I miss the States, I miss my family and I miss politics,
but all in all this new challenging assignment is fan-
tastic. Thanks for your thoughtful letter, hope all is
well with you.
Warm regards,
George Bush
