p.

Boston is being yearly lessened
by better steamers and swifter
trains; - so I trust this will
be possible to accomplish.
I have sent you since
last hearing from you several
other papers, - "In the Cave of
the Children's Ghosts," "Note
on Kitzuki," "At Hinomisaki,"
"At Mionoseki", "Yaegaki,"
and "Kitsune." There may
follow soon a paper on
"Houshold Gods" , and one
on "Japanese Students," and one
on "Folklore of the Japanese Sea.
Should any expense
be incurred in returning me
papers needing reshaping, please
deduct such expenses from
anything paid for MS. received.
However on the question of imme-
diate or later revision, I leave
everything gladly to your judgment.
With best thanks and
best wishes,
Believe me, very truly
Lafcadio Hearn
