At Sellers, 3420 Michigan Ave. Chicago, May 29. 1893. 9 A.M. Dear Louie. I leave for New York this evening at 5 o clock,
arrive there tomorrow evening at 7. Where I expect to find letters from you c/o? of Johnson at the Century Editorial rooms.
The Sellers beautiful home has been made heartily my own, they have left nothing undone they could think of that would in
any way add to my enjoyment. Under their guidance? I have been at the fair every day, have seen the best of it though months
would be required to see it all. You know I called it a cosmopolitan rats nest containing much rubbish common place stuff
as well as things novel precious. Well, now that I have seen it, it seems just such a rats nest still, what do you think was
one of the first things I saw when I entered the nearest of the huge buildings. A huge rats nest in a glass case about 8 feet
square, with stuffed wood rates looking out from the mass of sticks leaves etc natural as life. so you see as usual I am always?
right I most enjoyed the art galleries There are about eighteen acres of paintings by every nation under the sun. I wandered
gazed until I was ready to fall down with utter exhaustion. The art gallery of the California building is quite small of little
significance? not more than a dozen or two of paintings all told 4 by Keith, not his best, 4 by Hill not his best. 01668
