Show/hide 3 May 1914, Hotel Martinique Broadway, 32d and 33d Sts. New York City Dear Sam: I returned here two days ago & shall leave for Washington next Wednesday. I was royally recd. but the Canadians & the people of Toronto treated me with great hospitality. My lecture was delivered before the Military Institute & was well recd. A vote of ? after it was a ? vindication of Stuart. I have been rep? To repeat it here next Fall. Tomorrow I shall attend a dinner to ? ? the English actor at the Hotel Astor. The cream of N. Y. Society will be there. I am really worn out with dinners & lunches will the be glad to get some relief. Yesterday I got an invitation to a dinner to be given me at yale on the 4th - but I was glad of an excuse to decline it as it conflicts with the other dinner. Tafts Gov. Cameron Forbes of Boston (son of MajorForbes) was invited. I sent you a marked paper. I found a number inCanada who had read my book. If volunteers are called for I shall ask Woodrow to give me a brigade of ? - they can thus enjoy the man's privilege of dying for his country. You have done enough fighting so I want Woodrow to make you my chaplain - you can pray for the suffragettes. \ I hope you still hold the fort. Sincerely J.S. Mosby
