    "description": "In this letter to Lady Bird Taylor, Lyndon B. Johnson writes that he is getting behind on his \"lessons.\" He tells her the proofs should be ready in a week, and he is having Kodak pictures developed. He mentions a trip he and Welly [Hopkins] have planned to go to Mexico City during Christmas. The weather has turned cold, and he describes being sick two years ago with pneumonia that lasted for six weeks.",
