After living in that beautiful palace of Morgan's, it just needed five days of the "Pinero's" to make us enjoy life at a hotel-- If we can make connections, I think I will go over to Santo Domingo, and study up that subject, too.

But, even if we go no where else the trip to the I.of P.

was alone well worth our long journey.

I don't know when I have seen anything as curious, and as complicated a political existence.
Love to all of you dear ones.
DICK.
HAVANA--April 9, 1906.
ARTHUR BARTLETT MAURICE, ESQ.
MY DEAR MAURICE: I have just read about myself, in the April Bookman, which I would be very ungrateful if I did not write and tell you how much it pleased me.
That sounds as though what pleased me was, obviously, that what you said was so kind.

But what I really mean, and that for which I thank you, was your picking out things that I myself liked, and that I would like to think others liked.
