So don't disturb yourself in the least. Your paper is [[underlined]] good [[/underlined]].- I enclose a letter from Mathew, which please return.

If I go to Phil., I expect to take boat.- here June 24, go to Buffalo by the lakes, down the St Lawrence & to the M.T.N.A. meeting at Saratoga & then to Phila., coming to you before its normal, if there is time; if not after it.
