INFORMAL LETTER.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., March 1, 1909.
My dear Friend:—
I arrived here yesterday afternoon in the best of spirits. I am staying here at a nice, quiet hotel, and expect to remain here for the next few days. Rochester is so different from the great Metropolis. This morning I went to see the University and some other public buildings. I am delighted with my trip. From here I intend to proceed to Buffalo and to Niagara Falls. From there I shall write you a much longer letter.
Please give my kindest regards to all the family.
Cordially yours,
