Dear Abe:
I find it necessary to call off the whole trip this fall and
postpone it until next spring. I want Margaret and Mrs.
Truman to be with me when I make the trip - particularly
the trip to Israel. Mrs. Truman has found it necessary
to have an immense amount of dental work done this fall
and I am sure she would not have all the work completed
in time to go with me. Margaret is sailing on the 5th of
August for a month's stay in Europe.
I have written to Lord Halifax and suggested to him that the
whole trip be postponed until next spring.
If we can make arrangements so I could leave New York and
go directly to Israel - then make the tour around the countries
I have talked with you about in a leisurely manner - and finally
wind up in England sometime in June at the time the Oxford
University would want to give me the Degree, I would not be
rushed and it would be much more satisfactory for all con-
cerned.
I find that I can't take it as well as I have been able to in the
past. This trip to Chicago almost completely put me to bed
but I am all right physically now.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Eddie and I will talk with
him probably at lunch today. I know this will be a much more
satisfactory arrangement for all concerned. I simply can't
make it this fall.
Sincerely yours,
HSA
