- 2 - Their Royal Majesties two superb bathrooms containing mosaic tubs with gold faucets which, during the stay of Their Royal Majesties, were never once used| I may add that it has been indicated to me by the Government of the French Republic that the preferences of Their Majesties in the way of wines do not go beyond Veuve Clicquot and Pommery-Greno champagne of the best years. I have, therefore, prepared against the arrival of Their Majesties in Washington, one hundred bottles of Pommery-Greno, 1928, which I shall be glad to place at your disposal provided the situation in Europe should seem to indicate that there may be some chance of Their Royal Majesties going to America. My parsimony is motivated by the fact that the grand smash seems fairly imminent. I prefer, therefore, to restrain the departure of these bottles until my next departure for the United States in the hopes that we may drink them together. With my profound obeisances, I am, Your humble and obedient servant, Enclosure Four lists. |
