My boy from Yale spends the summer with us and
I could have a good excuse for sailing home with him
about the 1st of September if you think it advisable
to miss the rally.  I am writing thus early about it 
because of the difficulty of getting accomodation on
boats at that time of year.  If you see no particular 
objection to my attending the rally I shall not visit 
the United States until perhaps late in November.
 
 
 I should appreciate it very much if you could 
have a telgram sent to me giving me the benefit of
your views on this matter.
 
 
 I shall of course take up this matter with
Mr. Hull in due course, but should much appreciate
your advice if possible before that.
 
 
I am, my dear Mr. President,
 
 
Very respectfully yours,
 
 
Hugh R Wilson
