Dear Frank,
My plans for sailing are materializing and I shall hope to be able to get away the latter part of this month. The trip contemplates taking me to England, France, Belgium and Holland, but probably not elsewhere. I shall apply for passports through the bureau at No. 2 Rector Street, New York City, for myself, Secretary and servant.
If there are any means by which the inconvenience of travel, examination of papers, etc., can be minimized for me during this trip, it will be a very great help. I would not suggest it except from consideration of health, which I must constantly take care of.Without asking for anything which will be unreasonable or improper, if you feel able to cut any red tape for me, it will be very greatly appreciated.
