My dear Grayson:-

Admiral Benson asks me to inform you that the George Washington sailed from New York on the instant and is due to arrive at Brest 8 a.m., February 5th. He requests that the President be informed accordingly. It is understood, of course, that the George Washington will await the pleasure of the President.

Whenever you get a line on approximately when the President will desire to leave, I would like to give the information confidentially to the commanding officer, in order that he may plan accordingly.

I would also like to run over with you as soon as convenient the preliminary list of people who will be permitted on board the George Washington, exclusive of Army passengers allowed.

Sincerely yours,

Carter
Commander, USN.


Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, USN,
Naval Aide to the President of the United States,
Paris, France.
