Found a letter for a few bucks at an antique store. The Gardner - an aristocrat among Northwestern Hotels!

"Am here in the old home town having such a grand time. The old friends are so good to see it's hard to get away and I am afraid I won't get back to Washington befroe you start on your trip - and so I want to wish you God Speed and good Luck and above all a safe return to your friends in Washington

Very Kindest Regards
