I’ve been to the Sturtevant to call on Mrs. Fuller, & just at the elevator found I had lost a package—so I rushed off but had to give up my search in order to meet an appointment here. An appointment with Howells hinges onto this one—then I’m coming to your hotel if I can, before the evening train.
