Mr. Walter Deane, 



29 Brewster Street, 



Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

 My dear Deane: 



Your very good letter came to us on March the 

 2nd. We are all very much delighted that you are coming on 

 this spring. The date for your coming will suit us very well; 

 but the date for your departure, I would suggest that you leave 

 open and decide after you have come to Washington. 

 Mrs. Rose will write in a day or two. 



Yours hastily,
