But she sails in on Wednesday. As to myself the word “go” has lost all charm for me. I have arrived at that time of life when a good novel a rocking chair, my own bed and other personal comforts in an apartment house with no stairs to climb are all so necessary to my happiness that I cannot be tempted to new fields of labor, except those my pen can reach. You see the great uprising in this state, Mrs. Blatch has spoken twice a day ever since she landed. The very day she landed she went straight from the ship to a parlor meeting to fill one of my engagements. You should be here to help us. Could you give July August September & October or any part of these months & make one grand campaign through all the counties of this state? 
I hope your festival will a grand success as it always is. With kind regards for Mr. Livermore and yourself 
Yours as ever
