T. W. Gregory and George W. Anderson of Boston lunched with me. I went over
many matters of importance with Gregory.
Loulie and I went in the evening to hear Lohengrin. We went to meet Baron
and Baronne de Beyville, who sat in the box with us.

I am receiving many letters from people, prominent and otherwise, offering

am deciding the matter myself without passing it further for it should be done
spontaneously. Many thanks."
