MINUTE SHEET.
Hia Excellency
The Protocol Department of the S. D. telephoned
this morning on Mr* Summerlin's Instructions to say that
they understood that Lord and Lady Baldwin would be
arriving In this country about August 10th and that the
President would be very glad to receive them either in
Washington or at Hyde Park.   Incidentally the President is
by way of leaving Washington today or tomorrow and it is
not known for how long he will be staying at Hyde Park.
There have been various rumours     in the papers thai; Lord
and Lady Baldwin were likely to visit this country soon
and an P. 0. telegram the other day mentioned the fact
that Lord Baldwin had declined an invitation to speak
in New York early in September.   We have however had no
official word from the P. 0. at all.   The S. D. information
came, I gathered^ from Mr. Kennedy.     We obviously ought to
know the real position and I thene'rore attach a letter
to the P. 0. which can go by/^ost.
July 20th, 1939.
