Dear Doc
I am certainly delighted to know that you will soon be home again, first of all on Gertrude's account and secondly on your own. I am disappointed to think that I am not going to have the pleasure of seeing you during your brief visit to America, but I hope that when you come again, I shall be in New York, that you will honor that place with your second landing, and that I may get a glimpse of you at that time. You must have had a tremendously interesting trip.
We are overjoyed as well as proud beyond expression of the President’s triumphs in Europe. Drop me a line and tell me how the President is, how you left Colonel House and Baruch and how each of them is getting along.
I wish you and Gertrude were out here with us. It is a wonderful place and the mountain trails are glorious as well as interesting. I am feeling better. I certainly had a wise head to quit when I did. Another year of Washington would have finished me for good. I have no doubt of it now.
I hope the President is standing well the tremendous strain to which he has been subjected. I really feel anxious about him.Bill is here and tells me you treated him splendidly in Paris. Thank you very much for all of your kindness to him.
Best love for you and Gertrude from all of us.
Affectionately yours,
WG McAdoo
