Gerald Morgan and I got in last night; this is a splendid new hotel; for $2.50 I get a room and bath like yours on the "royal suite," only bigger.

This morning the minister did everything he could for us.

There are about twenty Americans who want credentials.

They say they will take no Americans, but to our minister they said they would make exception in favor of three, so I guess the three will be John McCutcheon, Palmer and myself.

John and I, if anyone gets a pass, are sure.
