Lindsay has made rather a point of Chicago, but I am not in the
least bit insistent on it if you decide to forego it.
I do think, however, that you should not drive through the narrow,
crowded streets of either New York or Chicago.
Lindsay's idea of visiting some "New York institution
of cultural importance" is good. One of the new slum clearance
housing projects or one of the great new medical centers would
interest both of you, even though to visit such an institution
would require a short drive through wider city streets.
I have written you thus at length in order to give you the
latest suggestions from this side of the water. Fortunately,
we have plenty of time to make plans and I hope that you will
feel free to make any different suggestions.
I need not tell you how happy I am that Great Britain and
the United States have been able to cooperate so effectively
in the prevention of war--even though we cannot say that we are
out of the woods yet.
With my sincere regards,
Faithfully yours,
