fired, I moving out on Saturday last, and they on the Monday folio* 
mg. I am sorry to leave, as the place was quiet, and the peonle & 
nice. Here there seems to he a quiet enough place (I kn|w the folks 
somewhat already.), and it is certainly a little lighter, hut the 
general run of the apartment is hardly so convenient. Still, it wll 
do all right for the remainder of the year, then I can decide whethr 
I cax’e to keep it for the future. 
Tne New York papers have had short notes every day about 
the convention at Harrisburg, where I suppose that you now are, and 
I take it that the Chestnut blight had been discussed from every stn 
standpoint. Ihope that you can stoo off a little on your way back 
from there, and see how the wotld goes in this neighborhood. I 
am free Saturday and Sunday, but during the week have a rather more 
strenuous life than in the past, since the private lesson question 
has grown a little since Christmas, now amounting to seven the week. 
All of that means mors cash for a fling next summer, though. 
There is no other news worth mentioning here, all are well, 
and busy, would about cover it. Hope that there is not any sause 
for uneasiness in your past of the continent. I had planned to 
spend the time over Lincolns birthday with Knowlton in Hingham, Mass 
but had to pack up things instead. Funny how much longer it takes 
to pack, than to unpack. Then I gave up a trip to Phila. to visit 
ur. Kaiser last Saturday, so as to get "-moved. Now, I reckon that 
1 scant get anywhere before the spring vacation, save a hurried trip 
to Phila. in March. 
Write mo -ohonovor you have a chance. With the kindest reg* 
gards to all of you, 
sincerely, .
