      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.
 
      The other suggestion is for you to come directly to Washington 
      from Montreal or Ottawa; then following the itinerary to and 
      including the stay at Hyde Park; and proceeding from there to 
      the western part of Canada via Chicago.
