Yes, I got Stedman’s & all your letters, without doubt. “Pacific Hotel” was plenty good enough. The one you directed to “Grand Pacific Hotel Evanston Ⓐemendation” came straight to Chicago, & was hadndedⒶemendation to me here in the hotel tonight before I went out to Evanston.
I’ve written to Bissell & to Charley Webster about that bond. The loan was made under Mr. Perkins’s administration[.]
