Law Offices of Van Cortlandt, Howard, Warrington & Edgecombe, Equitable Building, No. 120 Broadway.
New York, September 11th. Miss (or Mrs.) Margaret Markham:
Dear Madam,—Replying, in the absence of Mr. Van Cortlandt, to yours of even date, I would say that Mr. Van Cortlandt was called out of town suddenly yesterday by the dangerous illness of his wife. I have no knowledge of the matter concerning which you inquire, and regret, therefore, my inability to supply the information which you ask. I may say, however, that the City of Paris, as I have ascertained by telephone, arrived at her dock about half an hour ago. Should you desire to telegraph Mr. Van Cortlandt, his address is the Bear and Fox Inn, Tannersville, Greene County, New York.
XXVI.
Mrs. Clement Markham to Mr. Hubert Van Cortlandt, Bear and Fox Inn, Tannersville, Greene County, New York:
[Telegram.]
68 Clinton Place, New York, September 11th. [Delivered September 12th.]
What arrangements did you make for letting Clement know where to find me? If he came on the City of Paris he is here in New York now. I am anxious. So sorry about Mrs. Van Cortlandt.
