              <text>A letter received by Stephanie James, a member of Brownie Troop 99, from Lady Bird Johnson, former First Lady of the United States (1963-1969).

Dear Stephanie,&#13;
Your Bicentennial project sounds most interesting! Thank you for inviting me to share in it.&#13;
&#13;
As I look back on my White House days, those five years of turmoil and achievement, of triumph and pain, I feel amazement that it happened to me, and gratitude that I had the opportunity to live them and strongest of all - out of all the trips that I made and all the people that I met - a deep, roaring faith in and love for this country. &#13;
&#13;
As for my own most rewarding time as First Lady, there were moments, myriad and varied -- but I guess on balance the most rewarding was the feeling that I had come to know our country in all its diversity, its beauty and its problems. As for what was least appealing for me, it was trying to assign priorities -- so many obligations and pressures jostled each other for every hour of time and it was frustrating to have to turn my back or do only poorly many things I really cared about. &#13;
&#13;
With best wishes to you and your Troop members,&#13;
Sincerely,&#13;
Lady Bird Johnson&#13;
