We'll be more or less unsettled until your work begins in Iowa City, anyway. What do you think? I'm going to continue planning on meeting you in N.Y. and then if you can cable me so I'll know about when you expect to sail it will give me a little time to pack my other shirt and an extra collar. Even if I am there a little too soon it wont hurt, because I know enough people so I'll be taken care of. Dear! I wish I knew a bit more about this.
