Special 66 Martinez Dec. 3. 1898 Mr dear Johnson I thank you for forwarding my letters looking back on the New York
days of my trip, for your wise steady kindness in every way The night marches through New York meetings with Hobson Tesla
are especially notable. I had a grand time in Florida with Sargent among the palms pines vines magnolias. We parted at a
place called - Archer, Fla. I made my way home by New Orleans stopping two days at Mobile to see the forests there, one day
at New Orleans. In setting out we spent a day at Wilmington another at Baltimore another at Washington, driving out eight
or ten miles to see the parks.
