Lecture at a Toronto military institute; plans to spend time in New York.
with
8 April 1914, The Alamo
Washington
Dear Sam:
Your letter recd. I am to deliver my lecture at ? on the 27th. Not before a popular audience but a Military Institute. People will be admitted by invitation, not by sale of tickets. The day will be Monday. I don't care to get there before Sunday -- the day before. Have recd. an invitation from a military historian to a dinner on Tuesday afternoon. Frank Pemberton will go with me - as I don't like to travel so far alone. I shall leave here about noon Wednesday for New York - want to spend some days with my grandson & Jack Russell. Have finished my lecture - added a great many new points that are not in my book. Don't think my lecture will show any signs of my being ?. I have been in ? that there wd. be a lay fight? P. G. & that you wd. get the benefit of it. Edwd. Banks is still in.
Your Truly
J.S. Mosby
