              Dec [December] 1, ’61 [1961]                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
Today I was sworn in as Spec [Special]
Asst [Assistant] to the Pres [President].  (“I can’t win” – in [the Department of] State I 
was the Asst [Assistant] S [Secretary] of S [State] – here I am S.A.P. [Special Assistant to the President])
	                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Marion had taken a pleasant shot
at me in Chicago (when I was fumbling for 
my res. [reservation] card in mgr’s [managers] presence and finally 
said – “well its [sic] in the bag out front”)
“That’s [sic] the reason he is only the ASS’t [Assistant] Sec [Secretary] of State 
(thus to the anagram)
Today she made up for it.  After I was 
sworn in she said to JFK Mr. Pres [President] I hope you
enjoy him here at the WH [White House] as much as we do at home
