An Afterglow SAN FRANCISCO

Here at last! to find many letters. I am delighted with the way the Providence exhibit is exhibiting itself. The Providence people, however, seem to be doing it up Brown—Their arrangements are most satisfactory.

Tomorrow a dinner at Prof. Leuschner's—He is the man at the head of the orbit-computing work at Berkeley, probably the one in the United States. I hear Campbell of the Lick is to be there. The next day to Leland Stanford where we dine with Prof. Peirce and the President.

Mr. Lampland has sent me so many books on the chance that I shall simply stagger into Flagstaff under the load.

Crater Lake I had to miss—but my eyes have been opened to what is and what is not in the Pacific States. Shasta was fine and so would have been its surroundings if only man had let it alone. Dear old Flag, loses nothing by contrast. 155
