My Dear Walter; 



Why wont you join me in a trip I am to make to the West 

 Indies ? c^ail from ^ew York on the Parima, Quebec line, Sept. 27, go 

 to the Virgin Islands; stop off there two weeks; go on in the next steam- 

 er, the Guiana, to Barbadoes, touching at various islands on the way; 

 perhaps stoppfctg there another two weeks and returning direct to New 

 York, arriving about November 25. RourrL trip, $200, or somewhat more 

 for extra good staterooms. Please thinfe this over favorably, a nd let 

 me know your decision. 



Here is another proposition, when I return, I shall be in Cambr 

 only a week or two, before going to Washington and elsewhere for the win- 

 ter. I have been at loss to know where in the world to stop in Cam- 

 bridge, and it has occurred to me that you might possibly be willing to 

 take me in for that brief period. It was thinking of that that made 

 me think of the W. I. trip as a joint effort. I know you would enjoy 

 the trip; and I am sure I would enjoy jrour house as a teirporary resort. 



It seems stasange not to have a home in Cambridge; but such is the 

 state of things. This house is too large for me to maintain for myself.
