Percival Lowell SAN FRANCISCO

Thank you for these capital clippings. Providence is certainly doing its part.

Last evening a dinner at Prof. Leuschner's—President and Mrs. Wheeler, Professor and Mrs. Campbell of the Lick, Prof, and Mrs. Leuschner, and then a crowded hall in which I told them all "just how it was."

Now for Palo Alto and then Flag.

Lick and Berkeley have now reached the very respectful stage, shown by their distinguished consideration of the Martian ambassador. One could not expect more of mere mortals educated in the Martian dark ages.

Clippings enclosed for which and their well-conducted cause I am appreciatively. 156
