 Item — Box: 1B, Folder: 4.11
Scope and Contents

"You are so gracious as to send me a card for your ball, though I am but a poor creature beneath the notice of ball-givers, and long ago banished from the gaieties of Dupont Circle. ... I am sorry I have no diamonds and pearls for my guests to decorate your rooms with. Please think of me as wearing a double imperial crown in your honor."
