Did Margaret communicate with you in regard to her intended movements? I cannot find her and am much perturbed. Answer at once. XXIV. Mrs. Clement Markham to Mr. Hubert Van Cortlandt, No.--Broadway, New York: No. 68 Clinton Place, September 11th. Dear Mr. Van Cortlandt,--I was so sorry that, after all, we did miss each other in the crowd last night. But I got along very well, thanks to your forethought in telling me just what to do, though I must confess that I had five very dreadful minutes while I was looking for the card on which I had written Mrs. Warden's address. And where do you suppose I found it at last? It was in my pocket-book, just where you told me to put it! Wasn't it absurd? So then we came down here very comfortably, and found the delightful apartment that you had secured for me. As for Mrs. Warden, she is as good as gold. She even had warm milk ready for Teddy, and a delicious cup of tea for me. I never shall be able to thank you enough for all that you have done. What arrangements have you made about bringing Clement to me? If the dear boy hasn't gone on that slow ship to Boston, and has come, as you think he has, on the _City of Paris_, he ought to arrive today. I should love to go down to the dock and be the very first to welcome him. But in such a crowd as there will be I ought not to venture, ought I? Please let me know by bearer just what you have done about our meeting, and when I am to expect my dear boy. XXV. Mr. Robert Warrington to Mrs. Clement Markham, No. 68 Clinton Place, New York: Law Offices of Van Cortlandt, Howard, Warrington & Edgecombe, Equitable Building, No. 120 Broadway. New York, September 11th. Miss (or Mrs.) Margaret Markham: Dear Madam,--Replying, in the absence of Mr. Van Cortlandt, to yours of even date, I would say that Mr. Van Cortlandt was called out of town suddenly yesterday by the dangerous illness of his wife. I have no knowledge of the matter concerning which you inquire, and regret, therefore, my inability to supply the information which you ask. I may say, however, that the _City of Paris_, as I have ascertained by telephone, arrived at her dock about half an hour ago. Should you desire to telegraph Mr. Van Cortlandt, his address is the Bear and Fox Inn, Tannersville, Greene County, New York. XXVI. Mrs. Clement Markham to Mr. Hubert Van Cortlandt, Bear and Fox Inn, Tannersville, Greene County, New York: [Telegram.] 68 Clinton Place, New York, September 11th. [Delivered September 12th.] What arrangements did you make for letting Clement know where to find me? If he came on the _City of Paris_ he is here in New York now. I am anxious. So sorry about Mrs. Van Cortlandt. XXVII. Mr. Ronald Markham to the Rev. Clement Markham, New York: [Telegram.] San Antonio, Texas, September 12th. Do not know Margaret's plans. Think she arranged matters with Van Cortlandt. See him. XXVIII. Mr. Hubert Van Cortlandt to Mrs. Clement Markham, New York: [Telegram.]
