He writes the highlights of his career are being born an American citizen and nominating Dwight D. Eisenhower for the presidency. He gives the names and addresses of Maryland's living former governors and sends an autographed copy of the Maryland Constitution. He also discusses Chronicles 7:14, which he used when he took his oath of office and again when he nominated Eisenhower. He adds that Eisenhower also used this verse when he took his oath of office.
