Stoddard thanks Hudson for the $50.00. He will finish the Father Damien copy when he gets home. St. Nicholas is to publish a portrait of Reginald Birch and they wish a little sketch of his life. In New York Stoddard hopes to welcome Thomas Cleary due from Europe about the 17th. Stoddard's sister and Cleary met at Karlsbad. His friend "Amber" of the Chicago press, met on the boat from Duluth. Last evening they spent with Hull Adams and his sister, the only surviving grandchildren of John Adams. :: X-3-l A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
