University of Virginia Library

---

Papa requests me to inform you what plans we have concluded
on. It appears that we will start on Saturday the 16th—
go to Warrenton Springs on that day—on Monday to Orange & perhaps
on the next day to the Univ.—but possibly a halt of one day may
be made to look at farms. At any rate, we expect to reach the Univ.
in time. It seems to be the general opinion that it would be
better for you to call at home on your return from the tour. The
question however is yet open—& left to be decided when I see you.
You shall have my services very gladly on the 21st. It is not
entirely certain that Pap will be down: I shall be there if it
is possible.

Pap says he can assist you in the "furniture" bill to
the extent of seven or eight hundred at least.

Just returned myself from a small breeze in Maryland.
Grandmother hopes to see you, she says, one of these days—when—
she has no definite idea. I could not give much encouragement to
the hope that it would be very soon.
