Dear Mrs. Collins,
What a pleasant surprise to receive your very nice let-
ter of August 1.
Although the Convention cost me flat feet and varicose veins,
I have never enjoyed anything quite so much in my life, the basis
for my enjoyment being that the right candidate won.
Maybe I shouldn't say this in view of the fact that our
Governor was in the running.
There was a very good reason why I didn't run for Con-
gress this election year. I was offered the support of the Dem-
ocratic organization to obtain the Democratic nomination for
Congress from my district and I believe I would have been suc-
cessful in the primaries but I turned it down - simply because
I wanted to work for General Eisenhower and, secondly, because
I didn't want to be a Democrat. I have always been registered
as an Independent until just recently when I changed my regis-
tration to be able to vote in the primaries.
I too regret that I didn't work during the re-election of
Governor Warren. I think he is a very fine man and has made
an excellent Governor. It must be very exciting to work in a
campaign when your candidate wins.
I certainly hope to be able to take an active part in pol-
itics in the state of California from here on out. If my ser-
vices can be used in the forthcoming campaign, I will come out
to California in the fall (I am usually there only during the
winter months)
Again, it was very nice making your acquaintance and I
hope we meet again in the not too distant future.
Cordially yours,
Jacqueline Cochran
