My dear M,
This will be a reply to four letters, one dated June 29, one July 2, and two dated July 5. It is very good of you to tell Dora to send me the Tribune. Since you went away I have missed it very much, and you too. I am glad too that you have looked after the depositing of the dividends. I am sorry that you have still to worry over the Arch. Institute matters. I do not understand your saying that "even Bowdich is coming around." Do you mean that he is beginning to see the deceptions practiced by the men from whom he gets his information? I wish Dr. Holmes would take hold so that you may be free of all worry about the Institute. By the way I think I returned to you Mr. Hodges letter. If you have not already received my letter telling you of the allowance of my full estimate by the Bureau you will soon. It is subject to the passage of the Sundry Civil Bill. It seems that Congress in all the political scrimmage has neglected to pass the appropriation bills and there is a law against working for the govt. without compensation. I dont know how things are kept going but evidently there is some way of doing so as employees are not dropped.
