COco/ j^ed^ iv ; 
perhaps he able to get down this way, Give me a day or two of notiee 
and the decks will, he clear. 
The boatufrom Portland leaves the 
Boston Boat Wharf / on Tue, Thur. and Sat, at 7.00 A.M. sharp, and art 
ves here about 1.00, depending on freight, weather etc. «=wi I will 
meet you on the pier here, or maybe in Portland. We are short-handed 
this summer, and I am not making' any more trips awa • that I can help. 
The train service is much as usual. An auto regularly meets the trains 
leaving Portland^at 6.40 AM 7.15 AM and IS.50 noon; you stop at 
Newcastle ; Ask for Mr. Etheridge, and tell him that you are coming here 
If you let me know a bit early about trip, I can tell him you are com¬ 
ing. If it comes so that you wish to make connection with the train 
leaving Portland at 5.00 P.M. let me know a little in advance, as I 
will make arrangements for the machiagto make a special trip to meet 
you. 
Unless there is some great change, I shall be here until the 22d 
of September, anyhow, and maybe a few days later. I see no reason why 
I should be caJ led back earlier to New York. 
I am glad that your father is getting on so nicely with 
Edie and George. Of course, it is a great change for him, and at his 
age such things come pretty hard. Please remember me to him mist 
cordially, as well as to■theOthers. 
Henry wishes me to give his kindest regards and seconds the motion 
that you may be able to come here for a day or two if in Maine. 
Sincerely
