passage written by Cather on separate enclosure. | written text |
I have written the tent people4 a description of the tent I want, and ask them to pre-pay the express and try to get it here by Saturday. Will you be kind enough to telephone them and tell them that haste is the main consideration and that I will send them a check as soon as I get the tent?
If the latter part of this month is inconvenient for you to come here2, [illegible] come any time after the 14th, only
please let me know the date beforehand.
Perhaps either the 16th or 17th would suit you, but this trip
would be pleasanter pleasanter if you did
not come on a Sunday. The roads are full of motors, and the woods are full
of people, and all the Monadnock trails are like Coney Island5. Monday the 17th or
Tuesday the 18th would be good. Try to stay over the night if possible—no
trouble getting rooms on those two days, usually.
