Mr. John Ehrlichman
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear John:
I very much appreciate your taking the
time to visit with Dick Allison and me during
x
our recent visit.
We are now about two hours away from final
certification of the election. With the re-count
three-fourths complete last night we had lost only
eight votes, so things look good.
I look forward to continuing our close
communicative relationship in the months ahead
and please let us know if there is anything we
can do for you here in Seattle. Our interim
office will be Room 200 Medical Arts Building,
II17 Second Avenue, Seattle 98101, phone 206-
MA3-6038 or MA2-4680.
Have a happy holiday season.
Sincerely,
China

Dear Mrs. Arvidson:, Ruth H. EHRLICHMAN, JOHN D
One of the best things about this job is in hearing from old
friends. And every now and then I get a surprise. I had
no idea that John Hurlbut and you were brother and sister.
He, of all my law school professors, probably had more
influence on the way in which I practiced law than anyone else.
So the Hurlbuts have influenced me early and late and I'm
grateful to you both.
And I'm especially grateful to you for writing to me and telling
me about your conversation and about the relationship.
We get out to Sam Clements when the President goos out there
and I have yet to find time to take my youngeters up to Santa
Monica to show them Recsevelt and Lincoln and all my old
haunts but one of these days, perhaps this summer, we'll
be able to do that.
We have five youngsters, the eldest of whom is now stanford
as an undergraduate and is about to go overseas on the Stanford
Abflead program. We're looking forward to having him here
for Christmas and then we'll send him on his way. Our
youngest girl is in junior high now, suffering the vicissitudes
of French as did we all, and we have a younger boy who shortly
will tackle it. My French has stuck with me pretty well
over the years and I get a chance to use it every now and then
in my travels.
I tried it out on General deCaulle when we were there a year ago
last February during a social conversation just before a state
dinner. After about a sentence or two he grabbed a passing
interpreter by the arm and brought him over to make it possible
for me to communicate in English. But even though I can't
achieve diplematic fluency, I can ask where the airport is
and how to find the elevator. For which I am grateful to you.

Thanks so much for writing. 1 hope to $60 John when I'm
at Stanford Law School in April and we will have a chance
then to visit about you.
Kindest personal regards.
Yours sincerely,
John D. Ehrlichman

MRS. RUTH H. ARVIDSON 440 24TH STREET SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA 90402
Dear m. Erlichman (John, to me!)
One day recently when my brother
John Hurlbut, was in Santa Monica'
he mentioned you as one of his
former Stanford law students who
is now in the lime light of world
affairs and whom he holds in
high esteem.
then described a minth grader
at the Lincoln finior High School
- a handsome, fine statured, ruddy
checked, dark haired brown eyed
boy, mature for his years and,
of course, an "A" student, who
Aat (I remember exactly where !)
in my miserable little classroom
where the lovely Spanish and
218
French lanquages were accustomed
to being murdered.
From my description he was
quite sure that my young student
and his older one must be the
Aame person. So, he looked up
to me that you did attend the
your record at Stanford and reported
Sauta Monica schools.
Too, I find that your mother lives
not for from me and that she is
a close friend of one of my meighbors
so, I just can't resist writing
to tell you how very proud of you
all of us are of course,
teachers, especially at the secondary
level, must achieve fame
vicariously.
Rute Hurthe Sincerely
4 December 197.
