Dear Jervis

I am very glad to know how well & jolly you've been -- I am sick with bile & mad at the near approach of my work -- rehearsals begin this week. I send this while I have a chance merely to say that any time during this week or next, till Nov'r 2nd, I can receive the things -- if convenient to you, if not they can be kept till I return from Boston Dec'r 10th. On the list there are several


things already here - [illegible] : -- the Shakespeare plate, imitation bronze acorn & I think the 6 minture cups & saucers. There should be another bust - that of Angels & a pedestal, w'h I think are -- [your hall ?] the list merely mentions 'Eldin Booth'.

Have seen no one since my arrival -- have been very busy all the time. Hope to see you soon. Have got your large oil in my parlor & it fits well though the rooms are very small.

With love

Your ever

Jervis

Don't remember the piano - cover, but no doubt we had it in Mad : Ave : flats. No account, anyhow.

When you send the things please advise me in advance - the day of sailing & probable arrival here & name of pier or depot & direct them to me Central Safe Deposit Co 23rd St. & 6th Ave :
