Płudy, Sept. 5th, '06.
Just received your papers and was tickled to death. I think Calvary is fixed up considerably better now, ah? Is that Antonine (the old Rector) that is guardian there? It says Anthony in the paper. Let me know. I don't know of any Anthony. Say Ed, did Stump tell you he's going to Rome - good for him but not for us.

I take for granted that you got my letter of the 29th and have one on the way for me also by this time. I told Stump to remember us in his will (for Innsbruck).
Here is where I play Hamlet
"być albo nie być"
["to be or not to be"]
(I am not cursing). My companion is off for several days and I'm running the house.
Regards,
D.D.
