[[preprinted]] November WEDNESDAY, 26 1902.[[/preprinted]]

Left Cassel this morning at 11.25 and road all day till 8.15 P.M. only changeing cars once at a place called Halle where was stopped eight minutes. Very pretty country most of the way resembling a good deal in character the landscape of New England except that the soil is red very red where it has been freshly turned by the plow and the houses to differ somewhat in having red tile roofs.

Niedermeyer was at the train to meet me and I was glad enough to see him. We took my things to a Hotel Café ^[[insertion]] nearby [[/insertion]] and then went out for grub and later for a long walk over to the museum etc. Then back and we took the underground for home and I came in, to a foolish [[underlined]] feather bed [[/underlined]].

"Dinner here for Americans at" the Kaiser Hof but I didn't find it out till to late to get into my trunk. All the same in a hundred yrs.

This A.M. Niedermeyer came around for me we went to see about me trunk, all right and I can repack there and send it along. Then to the banker where I found letters from Mother, Lee, Harvey and from Iddings the Charge d'affairs in Rome at American Embassy. We found a pension at 66 Mauer Str. for 3 mks 57 pf or about $.81 a day
  [[insertion]] Alte [[/insertion]] Gallery - Room full of Rembrandts but mostly badly hung though some of them look to be very fine nice Holbein or so, very pretty Durer among a several, room of Hals four of Velasquez which I feel very sure two [[I ?]] never saw
  The one of the admiral looks [[underlined]] pretty swell [[/underlined]], though it was so dark today that I could not rightly judge nor of his wife either. Thanksgiving Day yes? back on the old sod. not much doing in the turkey line here, though I had five oclock tea with Niedermeyer in his house (his room) which is very pleasant Some lovely old furniture.
