Colonel Charles Lindbergh
7 Gates Farm
Haven
Martha's Vineyard, Mass.

Dear Colonel Lindbergh:

Bill Benton told me of his luncheon with you
and I was very sorry that I happened to be
away at the time.

I am going to be back in New York the week
of September 22nd and I do hope that you can
have lunch with us both on Thursday, the 25th,
as per Bill's suggestion, as it is his last
day in New York before he leaves for Chicago.

If you are going to be out of town at that time
yourself, I do hope that you and I can have
lunch some time later on, perhaps in early
October.

The present situation is certainly not encour-
aging, but I still have the feeling that almost
anything can happen, and as long as we are not
actually at war I intend, as I know you do, to
keep up the fight against our actual participation.

Certainly you have made a magnificent effort dur-
ing the last two years.

I do hope that I may see you again soon.

Chester Bowles
