Dear George,
The tato Dep rtacmt tells me that the Sultan ojl
M uooat arrivos at San Francisco on February 10th. They
are sending iuosaerlin, the rather bibulous Head oX the
rrotocoi, to iaeot him there, but Summerlin leavea him at
Zan f raaciooo, and theiU)eXorward the sultan will be in
charge of a State Department Agent, who can be trusted to
act as a very competent courier and miser of orranpemonia.
The State Departfiient oont him a hint that he chouldwear
Arab costume, this in order to minlmiee the poesibilitiee
of unpleasantneaa arieiiig out of the colour Question.
The Sultan hae said that he will wear his robes on formal
occasions, and plain clothes on others. He apparently
mane to visit Hollywood and to travel by the Southern
route, which is perhaps rather a pity for colour reasons,
and he will arrive at ! ashington on the 10th of March where
he will be the guest of the United Stet es Government for
two or three days; and he apparently sails in the " lueen
iAory*' which I see leaves on the S3rd of March. X
understand that the President will probably give him a
luncheon, and the State Department rather wants me to throw
a party for him. I should propose also to give him a
luncheon, which ie pretty plain a ailing.
The Department is much edited at having found a
lady in f ashlngton who is the direct descendant of Edmund
G. a. Handel, deq., C. UG.,
