President Johnson: Hello?
President Truman: Hello, this is Harry Truman.
President Johnson: Hello, Mr. President. How are you?
President Truman: Well, I'm all right only I've got things tangled up here at home, so I'm going to have to stay here, and I can't come to the inauguration.
President Johnson: Well, I'm so sorry to hear that.
President Truman: Well, you're not half as sorry as I am because I wanted to be there, but I can't do it. I've got a sister in the hospital and a brother who's lost the use of his legs, and I think maybe I'd better stay at home.
President Johnson: Well, I sure am sorry to hear that, and we'll miss you so much and--
President Truman: Well, you won't miss me anymore than I'll miss you because I had a lot of things I wanted to talk with you about.
President Johnson: Well--
President Truman: We'll do that later.
President Johnson: We'll do it, and you take good care of yourself. Now, don't you overdo it.
President Truman: Well, thank you a lot. Now, that's the principal reason I'm not coming.
President Johnson: Yeah, and I know it, and I don't want you to overdo it, and you just--you just be awfully careful.
President Truman: I will. I'll be sure to do that. And I'm asking Margaret [Truman] and her husband [unclear] to represent me there.
President Johnson: That's wonderful. We'd just love to have them, and we'll be in touch with them.
President Truman: All right.
President Johnson: Thank you so much, Mr. President.
President Truman: Thank you very much, Mr. President.
President Johnson: Bye. Bye. Bye.
