He thanks Gop [Goss?] for the 'letter of great length extended exclamation marks but otherwise agreeable & genial'. Howard 'can understand that vowing to keep silence the next best thing is to write to someone'. Gop's 'instinct is sound': Howard has 'abandoned Presque Isle which is a 12 hrs journey from here'. Gives a date for his return to Manchester. 'This place is really quite charming, though there might be too much society, but the walks & drives are perfect & the colouring like the Bay of Naples'. He quite understands the 'celebrations'. He approves 'the visit of George Junior Rep: & Indian '. 'We can write to Mr. Osborne for you when I return.' Incomplete Letter (4 November 1908): 12mo, 4 pp. Bifolium. The first part of a longer letter. 'I am anxiously awaiting the result of the Presidential elections & feel so American that I am compelled to write to someone on the other side.' Asks Gop to collect from 'the in the Chancery in a pigeon-hole worded with my name, a lot of private letters to Harding's & Sir E. Grey etc. which I was unable to get at before leaving Washington'. Asks for them to be 'put into an envelope & sent in the bag to the F.O.' Among other papers to be sent he would like in particular 'my report on agricultural education of which I know there are some in my room'. Complains that since he has gone 'Charlie treats me as if I was dead, & I don't know whether he is sending my cases or not as I asked him to do [.] Charlie promised he would send me a list of them all as numbered, & I should realy like to know what is being [.]'.
