The first plan would be for you to go to the Canadian West; 
      proceed from there to Chicago (which is en route), 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.
