Dear Bill,

When I walked into this office just now I felt the same
sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago.
I know you will feel that, too.
I wish you great happiness here.
I never felt the loneliness some Presidents have described.
There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair.
I'm not a very good one to give advice; but just don't let the critics discourage you or push you off course.
You will be our President when you read this note.
I wish you well.
I wish your family well.
Your success now is our country's success.
I am rooting hard for you.

Good luck—George
