(℅ Munroe & Co)
Paris, June 17.
Dear Charley—
Why can’t you come? You could not do a wiser thing or a better one. If you are in earnest, cable me “Clemens—Munroe, Banker, Paris—yes,” & I will then immediately instruct the Cunard Co to [sieze] upon the ‸first‸ berth given up by any passenger in the Gallia for Aug. 21, & keep it for you.—& cable you when they succeed.
People are changing all the time—our rooms in the Gallia were the worst in the ship a month ago, but the Co said they could better them before the ship sailed—we now have the best rooms in the vessel. So give me the word—& do it by cable.
With a world of love for you all
Yr Bro
Samℓ.
Our present plan is to leave here for London in the first fortnight of July, but Munroe will forward things to me.
