My dear Mr. Carr:
I am planning to sail for Europe on the “Rotterdam” on February 1st and would like to be furnished with such passports and other credentials as will ensure my reaching London and Paris with a minimum of difficulty.
May I trouble you to advise me just what course it would be best for me to pursue in getting suitable credentials? The British Ambassador, whom I know, would, I am sure, be very galad to give me a letter aif it would be worth while, but of course, I do not like to trouble him, with no particular object in doing so.
I expect to be in Washington next week or the week following and will stop to see you with reference to any arrangements that are necessary.
Thanking you in anticipation and with best wishes for the New Year, I am,
