posted by Chris Jones on Charles Pierce's Politics blog on Esquire:
-a copy of LBJ's oath of office
-letter to William Manchester from Air Force One crew
-a touching handwritten letter by LBJ to John-John about his father, written at 7:20 pm on Air Force One
-a similarly tender handwritten letter by LBJ to Caroline about her father, written at 7:30
- declassified Secret Service documents about security assignments for Dallas
-State Dept. memo to LBJ on funeral protocol

Those handwritten notes by LBJ. . . stunning.
