Will it be all right for me to stay Friday night with you? I think there is provision made for the feeding of the delegate. I don't know just yet what train I shall come on, probably the one that leaves here at noon, but I will let you know later about that. I'm awfully anxious to see you; I've just had a communication to-day that may interest you. Yours, Faye."
