I have decided to go home in
October, so I can have a long, comfortable visit before going to
Washington. Faye wishes me to join him there the last of December. I
am not very enthusiastic over the prospect of crowded rooms, daily
receptions and "teas," and other affairs of more formality. But since
I cannot return to the plains, I might as well go to the city, where
we will meet people of culture, see the fascinating Diplomatic Corps,
and be presented to the President's beautiful young wife. Later on
there will be the inauguration--for we expect to pass the winter in
Washington.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
