I promised myself to come out to see you at Bethesda, but with one thing and another I haven't made it.2 At any rate these flowers bring you, as always, my warm regard.3 As ever 1 Hazlett had entered Bethesda Naval Hospital on January 9 for a series of gastrointestinal tests. During his hospitalization Hazlett was treated for recurring "histamine headaches" and high blood pressure. Currently, his blood pressure was responding favorably to treatment (Hazlett to Eisenhower, Jan. 10 and Mar. 2, 1957, and related correspondence in AWF/N; and Memorandums, Jan. 19, 25, 1957, AWF/N, Hazlett Corr.). 2In the margin of this paragraph Eisenhower placed an asterisk and added: "Also, now a mild but irritating case of bronchitis. D." Hazlett would reply, "Your expressed wish to come out here to see me is enough for me. Please dismiss it from your mind, and don't attempt it" (Mar. 2, 1957, AWF/N). 3 The President would continue to send flowers to his old friend throughout his hospitalization (Hazlett to Eisenhower, Jan. 10, Mar. 2, 1957, and Eisenhower to Hazlett, Feb. 26, Mar. 13, 1957, all in AWF/N).
