Mrs. Whitman assures me she did discuss the matter with you, and while I don't quite question her veracity, I do want you to know that you are always welcome at the White House at any time.1 Having said this all personally, I now feel better! With warm regard, As ever 1 Hoffman was a long-standing friend and political adviser to Eisenhower. On his admiration for Hoffman see Public Papers of the Presidents: Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1954, pp. 666-67; and New York Times, July 29, 1954; see also no. 579. On the bi-monthly stag dinners see nos. 341 and 364. As it turned out, Hoffman would visit the White House a number of times during 1954, and he would attend an "off-the-record" stag dinner March 4, 1955 (see President's daily appointments).
