I dreaded the extra day in London with everything locked and goodbyes spending our hours. I am afraid Emily will be in a great state of anxiety for several days - but I hope Rathbone will be able to report soon that the "Niew Amsterdam" has got through the danger zone. There won't be any telling until tomorrow morning whether this blessed ship will get here, and leave - it appears they are sometimes detained here for days. The town is packed with Americans waiting - I am lucky to be in a pleasant home with friends. If there are more delays I will write again - Yours ever John S. Sargent
