Dear Ralph:
I have figured out all possible train schedules and find
that if I attend your meeting the afternoon of July 20 1 cannot
get into Quebec until 2 P.M. July 22. Mr. Amory has a luncheon
on that day at which the Canadian officials are to welcome the
"expedition" and which I had promised to attend. I rather expect
it would embarrass Mr. Amory if many of his guests did not show
up for that luncheon, although I of course do not care anything
about it personally. Accordingly I feel obliged to nass up your
meeting, much as I would like to be there.
I think you and John are starting this thing exactly right
and on the right basis. Considering the Mccullough faction, it
might possibly be wiser for me not to be there. I have every con-
fidence in your ability to swing this occasion and wish you all
kinds of luck..
Naturally I was immensely pleased with your letter about the
Green matter.
Do you have our proposed joint article in the form of a rough
draft which I could use as a sort of reminder for discussions at
Matamek? If so, you might send me a copy. If it is still in the
stage where we left it, I can use my own copy.
If convenient, you might also send me a rough one or two page
description of your historical information, so that I can answer
questions about what will be available when it is compiled.
Yours sincerely,
,ALDO LEOPOLD
