I'm enclosing some cards from the Plocques, one from M. Muller of Luxembourg, and a letter from Martha Kilpatrick that may interest you. You will note in one of Madame Ploque's cards a demand for a photograph. Have you an extra one of those I had taken in New York? If so, won't you send it and one of yourself to her? I promised them to her when I was at Meaux two weeks ago. She going to send photographs of herself and her family to us. 
This letter has been struggling against the conversation before dinner and afterward. Two of the fellows were having guests, to whom I suppose I should have been more attentive, but I was determined to have this evening with you. We have so many guests; I wish
