Tuesday, November 8th, 1898, New York City, USA

Now this is Tuesday night. I am not up to date. The “Cymric” (on which Albi & I were on board at noon today) sails tomorrow & this will go with her & as it is now 10:15, I will give up & post it in hotel, & you will have so much more diary to interest you.

I got Willie‘s letter at Cook’s this morning, dated October 28^th, & pleased to hear from home & that all’s well.

I’m thinking of going to Philadelphia tomorrow. N. York in great excitement today. Election for State governor[1]. Good night.
