Hotel Liverpool, Paris,
May 25th, ’78.

MY DEAR MR. CRAMER: 

I am now for the first time able to fix approximately the time of my visit to Copenhagen.  We shall leave here on Saturday, three weeks from to-day, or on the following Tuesday.  We shall stop at The Hague three or four days.  Jesse leaves for home so as to take the steamer of the fourth of June from Liverpool.  Our party therefore will consist only of Mrs. Grant with her maid and myself.  If your arrangements are made to be away from Copenhagen at the time mentioned above, I beg that you will not change your plans.  Should you be there, we shall probably remain over about one week.  Should you be away, we shall stop only a couple of days.

I have not heard directly from Elizabeth for some time; it is probably my own fault, for Mr. Corbin is very prompt in answering every letter; but Bucky writes regularly every week from New York, so I hear indirectly.  When you write home give my love to all of them at Elizabeth.

Very truly yours,

U.S.  GRANT.

P.S.  I go from Copenhagen directly to Stockholm.  I am not personally acquainted with our present Minister there, though I once appointed him to a South American Mission.

Paris, France,
June 3d, ’78.

MY DEAR MR. CRAMER: 

Your letter of the 31st of May is just received.  I should have written to you within a day or two to inform you of a slight change of plan, which will bring me into Copenhagen from ten days to two weeks later than I wrote you I should be there, even if I had not received your letter.  To save retracing my steps, as I should be obliged to do by the routes laid out in my last letter, I now intend to go from The Hague to Berlin and visit a few of the German cities before going to Denmark.  From Copenhagen I shall go by water to Norway, thence to Sweden, St. Petersburg, Moscow, and to Vienna.

I shall be very glad indeed to see Mary and the children and hope they may be back by the time I reach Copenhagen, about from the fifth to the tenth of July.

Jesse sails from Liverpool to-morrow for home.  He has been very homesick for some time.

With best regards of Mrs. Grant and myself, I am,

Very truly,

U.S.  GRANT.

Hanover, Germany,
June 25th, ’78.

MY DEAR MR. CRAMER: 

Mrs. Grant and I are now here on our way to the German capital.  We shall probably remain in Berlin until Monday, the first of July.  We shall stop over by the way from Berlin to Copenhagen, particularly at Hamburg, so as to reach Copenhagen about the fifth of July.  If you will drop me a line to the Kissenhof Hotel, Berlin, to let me know if Mary will be home at the time designated I shall be obliged.  If she is not to be at home I may change my plan and go direct to Sweden, thence to Norway, and return thence by Denmark.

Mrs. Grant and I are both well and send much love to Mary and the children.
