Document #1934; July 31, 1956
To Edwin Palmer Hoyt
Series: EM, AWF, Name Series
The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower, Volume XVII - The Presidency: The Middle Way
Part X: Cracks in the Alliance; May 1956 to September 1956
Chapter 20: Confronting "great risks"

 

Dear Ep: Many thanks for your note of the twenty-first.1 Since you wrote, of course, the Colorado picture has changed, and I hope the Post will support Dan's candidacy with enthusiasm.2

Howard Snyder has me on a daily dose of yogurt, which is certainly a relative of the buttermilk family.3 Since I started taking it I have had noticeably less trouble, so I guess there is something to the theory. At any rate I have the advantage over you in that I don't dislike the stuff.

Please give all my friends at Cherry Hills my best, and to you, of course, warm personal regard.4 Sincerely

P.S. I doubt that I'll make it to Denver this summer--which saddens me greatly.5

1 Hoyt was editor and publisher of The Denver Post.

2 Former Colorado Governor Dan Thornton had announced his candidacy for a seat in the U.S. Senate (New York Times, July 30, 1956). Hoyt would reply that "we hope to support him enthusiastically" (Aug. 3, 1956, AWF/N; see also Pexton to Thornton, Aug. 1, 1956, AWF/N, Hoyt Corr.). For developments see no. 2110.

3 Hoyt had successfully used buttermilk to deal with his bowel problems. On Eisenhower's recent ileotransverse colostomy see no. 1894.

4 The President had played golf for years at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, Colorado.

5 Campaign obligations would preclude the Eisenhowers' traditional Denver vacation.
