EXECUTIVE PP15-10 December 6. 1968 Dear Farris: Here is a copy of a letter I have written your young friend James Spiro about our white Collie dog Blanco. It is true we are in a great quandry about what to do with Blanco. He is a fine, beautiful, highly bred dog. but he is not a "romp and play" dog -- prob- ably because he is so highly bred. He came to us at a very young age and we found him to be shy and nervous. Some of that has been overcome during his years of security and familiarity within the White House grounds, but I seriously wonder If Blanco would be the companion you should expect a Collie to be for a boy. We haven't yet decided what to do. Can you tell me does the President's house at Jacksonville University have a fenced yard? Blanco hasn't the slightest notion of the danger involved in crossing a street. With very best wishes, Sincerely. Honorable Farris Bryant Bryant, Freeman, Richardson and Watson Barnett National Bank Building Jacksonville, Florida LBJ:MR
