In fact everybody seems to have only the kindest recollections of us and to be glad to have us back.
Such a rest as it is and so clean and bright and good--Only I have absolutely nothing to wear except a two pound flannel suit I bought at Lorenzo Marquez until I get some built by a French tailor.

Richard and his wife returned to America in the early fall of 1900 and, after a visit to Mr.and Mrs.Clark at Marion, settled for the winter in New York.

They took a house in East Fifty-eighth Street where they did much entertaining and lived a very social existence, but I do not imagine that either of them regarded the winter as a success.
