w the election will turn out no man can tell. Of course I hope to be elected, but I realize to the full how very lucky I have been, not only to be President but to have been able to accomplish so much while President, and whatever may be the outcome, I am not only content but very sincerely thankful for all the good fortune I have had. From Panama down I have been able to accomplish certain things which will be of lasting importance in our history. Incidentally, I don't think that any family has ever enjoyed the White House more than we have. I was thinking about it just this morning when Mother and I took breakfast on the portico and afterwards walked about the lovely grounds and looked at the stately historic old house. It is a wonderful privilege to have been here and to have been given the chance to do this work, and I should regard myself as having a small and mean mind if in the event of defeat I felt soured at not having had more instead of being thankful for having had so much. R ANY ONE HOW THE ELECTION WILL TURN OUT NO MAN CAN TELL OF COURSE I HOPE TO BE ELECTED BUT I REALIZE TO THE FULL HOW VERY LUCKY I HAVE BEEN NOT ONLY TO BE PRESIDENT BUT TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH WHILE PRESIDENT AND WHATEVER MAY BE THE OUTCOME I AM NOT ONLY CONTENT BUT VERY SINCERELY THANKFUL FOR ALL THE GOOD FORTUNE I HAVE HAD FROM PANAMA DOWN I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH CERTAIN THINGS WHICH WILL BE OF LASTING IMPORTANCE IN OUR HISTORY INCIDENTALLY I DON'T THINK THAT ANY FAMILY HAS EVER ENJOYED THE WHITE HOUSE MORE THAN WE HAVE I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT JUST THIS MORNING WHEN MOTHER AND I TOOK BREAKFAST ON THE PORTICO AND AFTERWARDS WALKED ABOUT THE LOVELY GROUNDS AND LOOKED AT THE STATELY HISTORIC OLD HOUSE IT IS A WONDERFUL PRIVILEGE TO HAVE BEEN HERE AND TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO DO THIS WORK AND I SHOULD REGARD MYSELF AS HAVING A SMALL AND MEAN MIND IF IN THE EVENT OF DEFEAT I FELT SOURED AT NOT HAVING HAD MORE INSTEAD OF BEING THANKFUL FOR HAVING HAD SO MUCH
