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.
