To-morrow early we will be off for Tokio, as it is only forty miles from Yokohama.

Of course, I may get all sorts of news before we land, but that is what we expect to do.

It will be good to feel solid earth, and to see the kimonos and temples and geishas and cherry blossoms.

I am almost hoping the Government won't let us go to the front and that for a week at least Cecil and I can sit in tea houses with our shoes off while the nesans bring us tea and the geishas rub their knees and make bows to us.

I am sending you through Harper's, a book on Hawaii and one of Japan that I have read and like and which I think will help you to keep in touch with the wanderers.
