eaa go to Paris Wednesday aight or Thursday ijorniag. I hop© to sail 
July 13. i haven't got aa aaswer from Cook yet. I cam© to Brussels 
3rd class, and shall go the same way to Paris. If I have to sail 
later than July 13 I shall have to go pretty carefully. Miss Perkins 
told me everything was frightfully high in Holland and Belgium. I dona*
