Scope and content
Autograph letter signed from the Ambassador New York to family. There has been an epidemic of flu, which he has had, but is now recovered. Is frustrated at the delay. He may only get the book and not the drawings in the Cosmopolitan magazine which is disappointing. Asks if they wish him to bring anything back with him. Charles's success is outstanding. Anita is going back to Palm Beach. Fred and Adele Astaire's show does not open until September, so Fred will be on the boat that brings this letter. He is going to England for the Grand National.
