I had just packed a basket with the finest brand of champagne and the choicest Delmonico Tenderloins and was anticipating such a nice time—such a blow. Will I ever get up courage to go down there again—I don't know. Will you come up Sunday morning." A brief postscript: "Love to Miss page—kind regards to Mrs. Godone." In fine condition.
