Their Royal Majesties two superb bathrooms containing, mosaic
tubs with gold faucets which, during the stay of Their Royal
Majesties, were never once used|
I may add that it has been indicated to me by the Government
of the French Republic that the preferences of Their Majesties
in the way of wines do not So beyond Veuve Clicquot and Pommery-Greno
champagne of the best years. I have, therefore, prepared against
the arrival of Their Majesties in Washington, one hundred bottles
of Pommery-Greno, 1928, which I shall be glad to place at your
disposal provided the situation in Europe should seem to indicate
that there may be some chance of Their Royal Majesties going
to America. My parsimony is motivated by the fact that the grand
smash seems fairly imminent. I prefer, therefore, to restrain
the departure of these bottles until my next departure for the
United States in the hope that we may drink them together.
With my profound obeisance's, I am,
Your humble and obedient servant,
William C. Bullitt
