two or three words canceledis out offour or five words canceled, tThe prospective pleasure of writing that book grows with the moments; & already I foresee that in the building of that work it I am going to find a delight comparable to going to heaven.
Some time within the next fortnight I want you to name a time when I may run down to New York & get you to tell me again the things you told me yesterday, so that I can correct my notes & put in dates, &c. WillⒶemendation you do that?

House & I called at the hotel at 11 this morning, but they said you left by the 10. 30 train. You come up, the first chance you get, & give us a chance to try to make you comfortable at this hotel.
