      (which is enroute) for a visit of perhaps an hour and a half, 
      driving from the railway station on the lake front to the new 
      park on the same lake front, thus avoiding passing through the 
      congested area of tall buildings; returning to the train and 
      arriving in Washington the following noon where I would meet 
      you.
 
      
 
 
We could motor or go on my yacht to Mount Vernon, see some 
      of the sights and let me give you a formal dinner in the evening.
 
      The next morning, I think you should go to a Joint Session of 
      the Congress and say a few words of greeting; then a luncheon 
      or tea for you at the British Embassy and a quiet family dinner 
      at the White House.
 
      
 
 
We would all of us leave that night by train for Jersey City, 
      opposite New York; taking the yacht across the harbor to "The 
      Battery"; there you would step ashore for a few minutes 
      to a stand and be received by the Governor of New York State 
      and the Mayor of the City; thence on the same yacht via the East 
      River to the World's Fair grounds, seeing the principal buildings 
      on both sides from the water; at the Fair Grounds you would drive 
      briefly through the Exposition, stopping at the British pavilion 
      and the Federal Building, having lunch at one or the other; then 
      after lunch proceed by motor to my house at Hyde Park where all 
      formalities would be ended and you would both have an opportunity 
      for complete relaxation for as long as you care to stay. From 
      Hyde Park, as I wrote you, it is only an overnight run to Montreal 
      or Quebec where you would board your ship for the return trip
