    "ocrText": "July 7, 1927\nMiss Harriette Sheldon Douglas\n4 Rue de Chevreuse\nParis, France\nMy dear Miss Douglas\nYour letter of June 28 th has just been received.\nIf you come back to this country on the 3rd of August I shall not\nsee you at all, unless I catch a glimpee of you when passing thru\nParis enroute to Geneva.\nIt is our expectation to sail on the Rochambeau\nwhich leaves this country on July 15th, and is due in Havre on the\n23rd, and we are due in Ge eva on the morning of the 25th. We hope\nto reach there the evening of the 24th if possible, so all we shall\ndo.in Paris is to get a train direct. After the meetings, which\nconsume & week, and perhaps somewhat longer 88 the Board generally\nholds executive sessions immediately after a conference, we shall\nprobably go down to Tours, taking an automobile trip thru the\nchateau country, then on to Bordeaux to see the Nursest Memorial\nSchool, then back to Paris, completing you will see the four sides\nof a. square.\nI will telegraph to you from Havre, letting\nyou know the train and the station where we arrive, altho you will\nprobably be able to find this out in Paris from the office of the\nSteamship Line. They-can tell you when the steamer docks and when\nthe boat train leaves Havre for Paris. It would give me great\npleasure to find you on the platform awaiting me, for I know we\nshall probably need some assistance. Everything always seems so\nconfused in those great railway statione.\nAB I am planning to return on August 27th,\non the Savoie, my visit to Paris will probably be around the 19th\nor 20th, or poesibly not until the 22nd. Do try and get return\ntransportation on the Savoie, I should be delighted to have you\nwith us. Miss Eldredge and 1 have return transportation on the\nsame boat, the others, i.e., Miss Clayton, Miss Francis and Mies\nLawler, of the Johns Hopkine, are returning somewhat earlier.\nSo much for this. Paris without you, however, would be a rather\ndesolate place for me."
