MY DEAR GORDEN :
When you were here last fall, y o u were as much interested and mystified as I was myself over a certain letter which I had received. As considerable time has passed, and as you may have forgotten some of the details, I have decided to begin the yarn by giving you a copy of the letter itself. NEw YoRK CITY, Nov. 27 , 1899. DEAR AusTIN:
I have been waiting to hear from you again regarding the inten·iew I desired you to have with my friend, Mr. Watson. He is going away, \\'ednesday, to pass Thanksgiving at his father's, and will not return until the end of the week, but after that I should like very much to have you meet him, either at his place of business here, or at the hotel in the Catskills. I know you will be extremely pleased to meet Mr. Watson, whether you and he come together on business m atters or not. You will at least do me a very great favor if you will appoint a time a nd place at which you will see him. He has im,ited you to ~·isit him at the Lodge, and it would be most desirable lor you to meet him there. But you might meet at some other place and make his acquaintance. I am, with best regards, Your friend,. }ACK.
