Rear Admiral Doctor
I am calling your attention to the unusual advantages of this resort—for rest—and quietude at this season of the year for the President embracing as it does altitude, the best water in the State, beautiful scenery, walks & drives, with real country environment—As to imitable accommodations I can secure several cottages moderately equipped,—private baths of the different mineral water can be given if desired—I am convinced you would decide this an ideal spot to obtain absolute freedom from all public contact with rest for the President—(& good golf links as a recreation) As you heard a mutual friend the late Admiral Dewey spent many seasons here, and Capt. Richmond P. Hobson a personal friend—was our guest last summer—highly endorsing all I write.
—In case I can be of further service to you do not hesitate to wire me—my politics are strongly democratic —hence my interest and this letter!—
Very sincerely yours
