-4-
Saturday,_ June l0th.
1:30 P.M. arrive World's Fair
1:30 to 3:00 P.M. visit Fair, British Pavilion, etc.
3:00 P.M. drive across Bridge to Riverside Drive, Medical Center,
thence Parkway to Hyde Park, getting you to our house about 6:30
P.M. The rest of this schedule would be as in PLAN A.
The only trouble about PLAN B is that it makes a very long
and tiring day on Saturday, June tenth -- but it does avoid a
night on the train.
I have tried in arranging for these three and a half days
to give you and Her Majesty some opportunity for relaxation because
I know that your trip to Vancouver will, of necessity, be tiring.
I think, however, that the general plan will give you both an
opportunity to see and do all the necessary things, and I do
not need to assure you again that a very great pleasure it is
going to be to have you as our guests.
A little later we can take up the subject of official dress
-- but may I suggest that if it is very hot, as it maybe, you
will both want as thin things as possible. As a matter of fact,
if it is hot, white uniforms will be the most comfortable for
the more formal occasions and they would be entirely correct.
I hope to leave about February sixteenth for two weeks of
our Naval manoeuvers off the Windward Islands -- " a fleet
problem" to be held in those waters for the first time.
I imagine that some international significance may be attached
to them. I wish you could be with me on the cruise, for I know
you love that sort of thing.
With my sincere regards,
Faithfully yours,
His Majesty
King George VI,
Buckingham Palace,
London,
England.
