Dear Governor
115 East 53rd Street,
New York.
I am enclosing a cable which has just come from Eric Drummond, Balfour's confidential secretary. Of course it is really Balfour speaking.
Will you not advise me what reply to send. I do not see how you can well refuse this request coming as it does. It might be well to have a Frenchman of equal distinction come at the same time.Balfour is the most liberal member of the present British Cabinet and it would be of great service to the relations of the two countries to have him here and to talk with him in person.
Affectionately yours,
115 East 53rd Street,
New York.
