Dear Frank,
This is to thank you for your interest and your courtesy in connection with arrangements for my trip abroad, which I deeply appreciate.I know you understand that I dislike greatly asking anything which appears in anyway to be a favor or a special courtesy, but having had experience on my last trip abroad, I know that delays, inconveniences and even hardships sometimes result unless the path is smoothed out. Unfortunately my health is not equal to a trip of this kind unless I can be protected against hardships, especially etedious waits, sometimes even in the rain, such as I experienced in 1916.I have arranged for Mr. Harold Vaughan to go with me as Secretary. He is a very competent linguist and stenographer, and early next week I will arrange for him to come to Washington and get his passport himself, and will furnish him with a suitable letter for his indentification.
With many thanks, I am,
Sincerely yours,
BS
