"On Tuesday, August II, inst month after
my leaving, l will he at my business in New

be incurred will be such gratuities as choose to
give, and my washing | have 1l2 pounds
of baggage to and from London, and 56 pounds
between London and Paris
IF l take months vacation in this country
it will cost me nearly 5000. and if l choose 20 buy
myself an outfit in London and bring it home, l
can save half of that sum by the difference in the
cost of things on the two sides of the Atlantic
The only thing about such trip that is disagree
able is the physical and nervous strain.
wouldn't advise sickly man or a dyspeptic to
take it.
