A lot of St Louis people so I know I will have a good time. But I want very much to know your plans and what you want me to do.
There is a friend of yours here who has been very nice to Genie and me, a Mrs Tracy who is an intimate friend of the Haynies. Everyone is simply crazy about Genie. She is a great deal prettier and more matured than when you last saw her. Half the people here have told me that all they want to do of an evening is to get a seat where they can watch her and that they cant take their eyes off her. She has had invitations from a number of people she has just met here to visit them in St Louis, Louisville, Cincinnatti and all over; I never saw anyone so popular with old and young alike. I think you will be surprised

Father, when you know her better, to find out how much there is to her and how much ability he has.
My idea is now, to start in in Syracuse the 1st of November after spending October, or most of it, in Camp. I won't ask anyone up there but will hold myself ready to help you take care of any party you may have up.
If you have $100 on the way to me now I think you had better send another $100 to Greenwood Inn, Evanston, Ill. we are going from here to Chicago on the boat, Northland , which is nearly as large and equally as fine as the ocean going steamers.
Take good care of yourself, Father dear, and don't work too hard over business and politics. You are so well along now that you can better afford to take things easy.
Devotedly your son
John
