"They were familiar with my trip to the ten republics of South America," Milton had written, and "seemed hurt that I hadn't completed my assigned task" (Milton Eisenhower to Eisenhower, Oct. 25, 1954, AWF/N; for background on the South American trip see nos. 259 and 660). 2 "If you are agreeable," Milton had written, "I'll tell Foster Dulles that I'll complete the good-will visit at a time or times convenient to my Trustees." He would visit Mexico in August 1957 and the Central American countries in the fall of 1958 (Eisenhower, The Wine Is Bitter, pp. 207-28).
