The Ambassador in Great Britain ( Davis ) to the Acting Secretary of State

2456. Having learned the Prince of Wales expected a formal and official call from me with reference to the invitation to America, I [Page 248] have called on him this morning and presented verbally and in writing a formal invitation in the name of the President. Up to last night the communication from the British Embassy had not been received by the Foreign Office. The Prince accepts gladly but thinks that according to the present plans he will not be able to come until October and probably only to Washington.
