| Transcript | box00007_fld00025_bdl0030_doc0001_02000001.txt; May 20, 1915 Mr. J. A. Poynton 2 East 91st Street New York City My dear Mr. Poynton. I have your two letters of the 17th instant, and am glad you are back from your vacation with renewed strength and health.I am afraid the anxiety of the past few weeks has made it only too necessary for yon to have this change of scene. I am much interested in your report that you are expecting to leave new York for the stsnmer vacation about June 1st. I shall hope to hear good news from yon from time to time. By the way, Mrs. Church and I spent our summer vacation at Winter Harbor three years ago, which is four miles across the bay from the location you are choosing at Bar Harbor this year, and while we have not yet perfected our plans for the coming sunsner, it is not impossible that we shall again try Winter Harbor, because it is very cool and pleasant. In any event I shall be in close touch with you by telegraph and telephone. Sincerely yours, President P. S. You will remember that I spoke to you about a suggestion that had been made concerning a final resting place. I wrote to Mrs. Carnegie on the subject, placing tht matter before her as delicately as I knew how to do it, and she has replied in a very beautiful letter that the matter was fixed sense time ago between Mr. Carnegie and herself and that the spot is a quiet one near Hew York. S. H. C. |
