'ellesley, bass. 
My dear Riidl#:- 
I am strongly tempted to make a trip to Wellesley 
in connection with the Chestnut disease , tut at the present moment 
air: uncertain if it is possible before I leave for a ssefete trip 
through '".Y. and Po. If possible I would like to visit Wellesley 
on Saturday of the present week, provided you can arrange to be 
my guide on that daj, I think the best way.all points considered, 
would be to pet a carriage and driver for the trip, so that we 
can feel free to leave, the team wherever and whenever we like. 
If yon will indicate by return mail as to whether you can or 
cannot accompany vie or. that date I would be greatly obliged. 
If your reply ? s favorable I shall probably telegraph you II I find 
that I can make the trip. ‘Iso, if your reply is favorable, will 
you hold yourself in readiness to engage a carriage when you get 
word that 1 car rake the trip? 
".hat will be the best address to send n telegram*: Do the college 
f'O fyon happen to know 1 he hen' way to reach ellesley from here 1 : 
If I cannot wear toe trip at the present time what would be the 
best time, later, for you to sake the trip? 
Very truly yours, 
Special Agent, 3. .I.
