I shall be with you on your seventieth birthday nothing intervening. Kennedy cant come. I dont know whether Mr. Butterworth will or not but he was much interested in the prospect and hoped the results would be satisfactory. I speak in Philadelphia in the evening but that will not interfere with my attendance at the dinner. I hope Mr. Howells can go down.
Sincerely, Hamlin Garland Jamaica Plain May. 28/89
