My dear Mr Moffatt,

I received your letter after having written to you. Have you received it yet? [Caskey?] joins with me in thanking you for the suggestions for consideration in our reading. You were certainly very kind and thoughtful to send them to us. I have finished about half of the "Princess."

Did I tell you that I am working? Yes, very strenuously during the day and long hours, too.

I wrote to Gilmore by the same mail as to you last time. When I saw him the other week he said he hoped you could have him given credit at Princeton for passing the Yale exams, and that, if that could not be done, he intended to take the exams at Princeton though, he avers, he has doubts as to his ability to enter.

I don't think he will have the slightest difficulty. He always was a steady and accurate student. His mother too, considers it settled that he will go, and is reconciling [crossed out] herself to the prospect of seeing him only every fortnight or so.

I will drop a line to James about some books and incidentally mention that you would like to hear from him.

Sincerely yours

Edwin E. [Calmsley?]

If you are in the city next Tuesday evening, the twelfth, and have nothing to do, come up here. I expect Mrs Gilman, James, his sister, Bob, will all be up.
