Where I should arrive July 26th. The next day go on to Cairo. Remain at Cairo until the 2nd August; then go to Port Said and sail on the N.D.L. "Derflinger" on Aug 3rd reaching Shanghai Aug 29th. This is approximately the itinerary of hope to follow. Will determine definitely after reaching Berlin, and advise you. 

I have been deeply impressed with Tudor-Gothic architecture in England and now considering it (confidentially) for the Washington building. 

The huge new South Kensington Museum was opened by the King & Queen today. I hope to better it, from every point.

My purchases here have been extraordinary - a list goes to Kennedy to day, which I have requested him to show you.

The outlay is shockingly heavy but the requisitions are fine. I wired you to day asking you to sell all of the 40 L.S. & M.S. Bonds. This is to provide funds to meet drafts and to pay bills
