my dear cable,
did you get my note written in the century office? i want you to choose your own date and come; we are ready for you now any time. give us several days if you can without detriment to your work. change of scene and people may be even a help to your work. if you can stay the longer by coming now, come now; but if you can stay the longer by coming later, come later.
yours sincerely,
s. l. clemens.
