LL) Office of The Prime Minister Cabinetdu Premier Ministre L7~, August 31, 1976 I apologize for taking such a long time to write and thank you for the generous hospitality and other courtesies in Puerto Rico.

3 I'm glad though that my timing does permit me to offer congratulations on the President's success in Kansas City. While I don't entirely envy you the gruelling demands of the campaign, it will be exciting, of course, and in so many ways I'm sure very satisfying. Good luck and above all keep your sense of humour. The lunch by the way was great fun, and elegant, notwithstanding our somewhat reduced ranks. I am especially grateful for the Bicentennial Commemorative. I will value it always. Again, thanks and all good wishes. Mr. Ronald H.
