-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. |
