Ford writes to Friscat and offers a personally meaningful quote, Proverbs 3:5,6, "Trust in the Lord...and He shall direct thy path." Ford had the Bible open to this page when he was sworn in as president.
June 27, 1979
Dear Mr. Friscat:
Thank you for your letter and for your kind comments.
One of the most meaningful quotations to me is the passage to which I had the Bible opened when I was sworn in as President.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5,6
Again, thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,
Jerry Ford
Mr. Paul J. Friscat
