THE PLAYERS, 16 GRAMERCY PARK. Tuesday Dear Miss Custer, I was delighted to receive your note this morning and to know that you are back safely from the fair—You have come back to finish it up. Hoping soon to see you! Always Yours, Your affy, Want me that evening when I first suggested Tuesday. I expected to go away on 19th for a week, but have given it up. As always
I came to the conclusion that your worries not be expecting me tonight. So made no arrangements to come - all my charges of payment are in Furloughing - Thursday I will come in time prepared to appear) the weather. Don't take the trouble to telegraph or write unless you don't scorching hot weather in Ored, but I suppose you would rather have it here than in Chicago. I will come down on Thursday evening instead of tonight, if it is equally convenient for you - Not having heard from you up to last evening
Please Forward c/o F. G. Caressey The University of Chicago Chicago, Ill. Miss E. Alice Austin Rosebank Richmond Co., Staten Island, New York
THE PLAYERS, 16 GRAMERCY PARK. Monday, Dear Miss Austin, I meant to send you a line with the photos but found no letters paper at the office—forgot to get some Friday and so postponed Always yours, H.K. Of course you shall see each other if I come for a part I would run out soon—if only for a day—I have a good mind to do it as about that it is—I don't know photograph—unless it was taken what is the matter with it? I have one idea
writing until today hoping I should hear from you with your Chicago address - Please don't aggravate me by prating of your lovely moon- light nights. I am just dying for one on your piazza with the moonlight on the water and all I I do not know how I shall get it unless I find a boarding place in Rosebank and take up a residence there for a few weeks. Today? I suppose your are enjoying the rain - I wish
