New York Plan for the New Weston

Postmark: December 7, 1948 New York, NY

Hotel New Weston, Madison Ave at 50th Street
Monday night

My darling –
I’ve just come in from a visit to the McCrea’s so this will be short — I’m pooped.
Everything is arranged about the room. We have room 1450 for your stay. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you Friday.
As yet, I am not sure I’ll be able to meet you because my schedule is going to be very full. If you don’t see me:

1. Get a porter for yor bags
2. Tell him you want a cab
3. Follow him
4. Tell the cab to take you to the New Weston Hotel
5. The hotel doorman will handle your bags
6. Register for room 1450 – they’ll be looking for you
7. Get settled and do what you want – if you go out leave key and a note telling me where you are

I’ll try like the devil to meet you but I’m not sure at this point whether I can. I’ll try. I’ll get in touch with you in the room between 11:30 and 12:00, if I don’t meet you.
The trip up on the Champion isn’t at all bad and I slept all the way to Washington.
My regards to your family. I’ll see you Friday.
Incidentally, if you dont’ have room in your suitcase don’t worry about my grey suit. I really don’t need it.
You’ll love the location of the hotel, I’m sure – a block from the Waldorf and two blocks from the Ritz-Carleton. A very nice hotel, too.
Miss you darling —

All my love-
Louis
