YDear Mr. Collector:
our very kind note of the 18th was on my desk on my return from Washington and I am grateful to you for your interest in my trip, and for confirming the report that I am a law-abiding citizen.
If you should look over the records of your office, you would find that on various and sundry occasions I have made declarations on the dock that have cost me large sums of money in times past, and I confess that I had some uneasiness about that fur coat lest, in my innocence, I should be persuaded that I ought to pay duty on that.
I will let you know without fail when I am coming back. Meantime, would like right well to have a visit with you before going. I will call you up with the hope of having you take luncheon with me some day this week.
