Dear Admiral Grayson:-
I had it much on my mind that a letter of yours of recent date expressed the hope that you might see me before I sailed for London, Saturday, May 22nd. Unfortunately, I was tremendously tied up the last two days in Washington and was not able to get around to see you until yesterday morning, when you happened to be out.
I do not know, of course, whether there was anything behind your letter beyond a mere expression of friendship, but I am a little worried lest you might have had something definite to speak to me about.
As you know I am returning to London to join the Secretariat of the League of Nations and have no more earnest desire than to make myself of every possible use to the League.
If there is the slightest way in which I can be of service in that connection, I would appreciate it most deeply if you would write me care of the SS Baltic, White Star Line, 14th Street, New York, sailing Saturday. I should be glad also to know, simply for confidential information, anything you may be able to say about the President's condition and the possibility of his taking an active part in the forthcoming campaigns.
Do please call upon me if there is anything at all I can do.
With best wishes,
Yours very truly,
Arthur Sweetser
