2 like. This same gentleman invites me to go in the crowd, and I am slightly tempted to think I ought to go to keep an eye
on you all. The only thing that daunts me is the fact that there will be a crowd; but the Canon is a very good and convenient
place for disposing of superfluous companions; and if there were a reasonable probability of having a fair whack at you and
a few others that I should care to be with, and of being able to shin up a tree away from the rest, or drop the most inevitable
of them over the rim, I should be a good deal minded to try to shape things to go. Let me know a little of what you plan to
do; just about what time you expect to spend there, and whether you intend to go anywhere else. I wish you could get down
here fo before that time and see us; or at least start a little ahead of the excursion and stop over here and 3- J. M.-
go on with us, in which case I should be pretty certain to run out at least for part of the time. Turbese sends her love
to all your house. Hastily but always sincerely yours, Chas. F. Lummis 02993
