2 I am with Mr Johnson at this nice club just now but I have a room at the Holland House expect to get an answer to the
telegram I sent mama as soon as I get off the ship. I want to speak to Mr Johnson about writing a book so I will have to be
here a day or two but you may be sure I will make haste to get home to see you all once more after my long long rides sails
walks in illegible land Ireland England Belgium Switzerland France Italy. You can find all these countries in your geography
I suppose. 3 I have to stop a day at Chicago also two or three at Portage but I think Ill be home in about two weeks,
then wont we have a grand time together. I brought a few nice things in my satchel only a few because they make so much fuss
about baggage in the custom house. You must have been studying very hard I think for you can write so well I m glad you are
going to the redwoods to enjoy the beautiful trees shells mosses the waves of the sea. I would like to be with you there
