I think I have written you that I intend to go dawn to New York
alter Commencement exercises, Wednesday, and stay there a lew days.
Fapa writes that the "cash box" is so law at present that he can-
not come North aad bring you all. U that Is the case I think I had better
remain quietly In Poquonock all summer.
This note is only to let you know that I am alive aad nourishing.
