    "description": "In this letter, Lady Bird Taylor tells Lyndon B. Johnson that if he comes to Texas she will be with him \"all the time you can put up with.\" She asks about offers he has received from New York and South Texas. She comments on his low spirits and encourages him to have enthusiasm for his work. She writes about the day's activities, and ends saying \"we shall find the way out of our difficulties.\"",
