On behalf of himself and his wife, Breck thanks the Knoxes for offering their Philadelphia house to use as the Breck home, but they cannot accept the invitation. The Codmans, with whom the Brecks are traveling, insist that the party stay together. In a postscript, Breck says he expects to "meet Miss Breck and Miss Knox at Colonel Ogdens."
