of March. It will sail direct, I believe i.e., not touch at any port after leaving Montevideo till it reaches New York. If it does about 24 to 26 days will be required for the journey. Will write again in a few days after I know a little more definitely about it. Will also cable my departure. If I take passage on the "Merida" will only cable "Sail"; but if on another vessel will also give name. Will also mail you a draft for the money that I have coming to me case of accident to shp on which I go, though I don't anticipate any. Will also keep duplicate by me case of letter being lost, while the triplicate will be mailed later to stand surely for a possible double accident.

Do not expect to remain in the east any longer than absolutely necessary — possibly 8 or 10 hours after landing. If I arrive and land in morning hope to start home by evening train. Of course will have a little time to spend in getting through the custom's house and in repacking and shipping my belongings. May go via of Washington though hardly expect
