Groton, Conn., July 2, 1897.
Prof. W. H. Holmes,

Chicago, Ill.
Mr dear Holmes:-
Yours of June 30th received. Under the circumstances I do not know but that it would be well for you to plan to reach Washington October 1st. I may or may not be there, but that will make little difference, as it will take you some time to get settled and ready for work. You can first take up the plans for rearranging the collections in the new galleries.
I have personally no objection to your lapping over accounts, as you call it. You can do this by obtaining leave for October at Chicago.
Yours very truly,
