Do I gather that you and Art think we should accept one of the Street Weimaraners?2 I'll be glad to, but my only question is whether or not there is any way of finding out whether the puppy he offers would be equal in breeding to the one that Bud Summerfield gave us.3 Tell Art I am counting on him to make a recovery as spectacular as his efforts in other fields. Meantime, my warm thanks to you for taking care of the farm details for us--including, most particularly, visitors!4 With affectionate regard, Sincerely P.S. If you and Art really think we should accept Dr. Street's offer, I am enclosing a copy of a letter which you might think suitable to send to him.5 1 Eisenhower's farm manager had had surgery earlier this month (see no. 1582). Ann and Mary Ann Nevins's reports are in AWF/Gettysburg. 2 On September 9 California dentist Richard T. Street had written to Nevins offering to present a puppy to the President (AWF/Gettysburg). 3 On the Summerfield puppy see no. 1545. 4 See, for example, no. 1576. 5 Eisenhower's letter to Street, dated September 19, is in AWF/Gettysburg. For developments see no. 1608. Bibliographic reference to this document: Eisenhower, Dwight D. To Ann Louise Stacy Nevins, 15 September 1955. In The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower, ed. L.
