February, 1904

First page of letter missing – I believe it was written in Feb 04

…in a position like that. It is a desirable position, but will postpone trial for it until later and see what turns up.

I was shaved on the train the other day. The train I go east on comes through from Chicago. Leaves Chicago at 10:30 AM. Arrives in NY the next day at 1:30 PM. It has a library buffet car in which is a barber shop, bathroom, library and bar. It is made up almost entirely of Pullman cars and carries a wealthy class of people. But it is too early in the morning for me to do very much. But the train going west is a good one and I am doing finely.

Speaking about mail clerks. Coming west Saturday afternoon we were going about 50 miles an hour, when one of the mail clerks fell out of the side door. When the train stopped we were a mile or two away, so sent the rear brakerman back. The man was not injured at all. I suppose the snow saved him.

Am going to lecture to-night by the editor of “The Banner of Light” a Spiritualist paper. The valentine you sent me was quite clever.

Write soon

Yours

Max
