ALS as president, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, Executive Mansion letterhead, May 21, 1887. Letter to "Dear Doctor," in full: "Since writing you I have heard from Dr. Ward who says that he will be responsible for rooms and the cottage and transportation from Paul Smith's station to Saranac Inn. I have further information too about the train, though I don't yet know when we shall leave Troy. This will be so early in the morning however as to be quite inconvenient, and we shall have a special car and a sleeper from here I suppose. At any rate our accommodations will be so good that I am constrained to withdraw the suggestion I made that you might precede us to Troy and I now advice by all means and for the comfort of all concerned that you join us at Jersey City. Our train will leave here at 4 P.M. and arrive at Jersey City at 9:15. If that is not the hour I will let you know. So you will not probably be interested in knowing the hour of our leaving Troy which I promised in my last to give you. If for any reason you do want to know it let me hear from you." In fine condition, with a partial split to the hinge.
