fore there will be no appreciable delay in Their Majesties' 
      motor trip from the World's Fair to Hyde Park.
 
      
 
 
I assume that the Protocol Division of the State Department 
      will keep me advised if additional information reaches them or 
      in case there should be any change whatever in the arrangement.
 
      It occurs to me to suggest that perhaps it might be pleasanter 
      for Their Majesties to leave the West Side Parkway at 72nd Street 
      and then to drive east into Central Park at the 72nd Street entrance, 
      swinging around southward and then northward on the east side 
      of the Park, until they should leave it at ll0th Street and Lenox 
      Avenue, at which point they would swing over toward the East 
      River to take the Triborough Bridge to the World' s Fair. This 
      little detour would not take more than five to eight minutes 
      but would show them Central Park in its best early summer guise, 
      and would bring them near enough to many of the distinguished 
      high buildings of that portion of the city to give a pretty vivid 
      impression of them. The drive east through ll0th Street would, 
      I fear, be a rather tiresome alternative as there would be practically 
      nothing characteristic of the city for Their Majesties to see.
