[[/preprinted]] Today has been spent in a rather desultory attempt at packing for Alden & Harvey as frequent interruptions have occurred in the shape of visitors to see the Toledo stuff So its been show down & pack & take down photographs etc pretty much all day except for a thorough last look the fellows look at Velasque this A.M. After dinner we all went to the Bueno Retirou & saw rather than heard a rather shin bluff at the Opera [[underline]] Carmen [[/underline]]. Misses Canedy & Mead, Senorita, Dolores Carmona & the Triplets. We had a good time at any rate and a slight origie in the Dining room at 1.30 A.M. This is the last night the boys are going to be here to cheer up this old rooms But as endeth all things so cheer up there are more lobsters than have had a chance to [[next page]] prove it.

After lunch I helped a little by getting in the way & finally Alden & I left Harvey shaving & went down to the Garden Botanica for one last dope there. It was fine & I felt sorrier than ever to have, the fellows go but at last we had to get out so we came up to the house made a few small purchases & had dinner. After some trouble I managed to get them [[strikethrough]] all [[/strikethrough]] baggage & all onto the train at a boat 8.50 And Im liveing here along in a place Ive long called home for at nine the villain rolled away. Good luck [[strikethrough]] on [[/strikethrough]] and much of it to them both
