invitation and stop
here on your way back to Washington.
We went today to see the
“Spouting Rock,” which under the
south east wind and heavy sea,

Today is the Philadelphia Conven-
tion. I hope the mail which
brings us news of it tomorrow, will
bring a letter from you, as I have
not heard since your telegram of
Saturday.
Affectionately yours
