THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

July 13, 1936.

My dear Tweedsmuir:

I am awfully sorry to hear
of your illness and I do hope that you will
be well again in a few days.

I want you to be perfectly
frank with me and, if you are not feeling
wholly fit by the 31st, I will defer the
visit to Quebec and it will be very simple
to run up there or to Ottawa from Hyde Park
later on.

I am leaving tonight for
Maine and will cruise across the Bay of
Fundy and in the neighborhood of Cape Sable.
However, I can be reached at any hour of the
day or night by radio to the accompanying
destroyer, U.S.S.Hopkins.

Faithfully yours,
Franklin D Roosevelt

His Excellency,
The Right Honorable Baron Tweedsmuir
of Elsfield,
Governor General of Canada,
Quebec.
