To Bernard Mannes Baruch
Series: EM, AWF, Administration Series
The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower, Volume XV - The Presidency: The Middle Way
Part VI: Crises Abroad, Party Problems at Home; September 1954 to December 1954
Chapter 13: "A new phase of political experience"

 

Dear Bernie: I thoroughly approve of your father's advice, and sometimes wish I could devote my primary attention to it.1 I have two or three short "vacations" tentatively scheduled for this winter, though I must here again quarrel vigorously with the use of the word. At the moment I don't see how or when I could get away for even one other weekend. Nonetheless I assure you of my deep appreciation of your suggestion, and I hope you will give me a rain check.

It's good to know that you are on your way to South Carolina, since I have a feeling we are about to settle down into the cold and dreary part of the winter.2

With warm regard, As ever

1 On November 18 (AWF/A) Baruch had written to invite the Eisenhowers to visit him this winter in South Carolina. "My father told me never to take long vacations, but many short ones," Baruch had written. Baruch's father was the surgeon Simon Baruch.

2 As it turned out, Eisenhower would manage to get away from the White House three times during the winter. He and Mrs. Eisenhower would spend December 23 through January 2 at Augusta National Golf Club. On January 29 and 30 he would again travel to Augusta to play golf, and he and Mrs. Eisenhower would spend February 10-13 at Milestone Plantation, in Thomasville, Georgia, the home of Treasury Secretary Humphrey (see New York Times, Dec. 24, 26, 29, 31, 1954, Jan. 1, 2, 3, 29, 30, 31, Feb. 11, 13, 14, 1955).
