17 June 1879 • Paris, France (MS: CtHMTH, UCCL 01673)
Paris, June 17.
Why can’t you come? You could not do a wiser thing or a better one. If you are in earnest, cable me “Clemens—Munroe, Banker, Paris—yes,” & I will then immediately instruct the Cunard Co to siezeⒶemendation upon the first berth given up by any passenger in the Gallia for Aug. 21, & keep it for you.—& cable you when they succeed.
People are changing all the time—our rooms in the Gallia were the worst in the ship a month ago, but the Co said they could better them before the ship sailed—we now have the best rooms in the vessel. So give me the word—& do it by cable.
With a world of love for you all
Our present plan is to leave here for London in the first fortnight of July, but Munroe will forward things to me.
