After breakfast at the Astor

"Charley Frey's" [diding's] & then
down to the old "Castle Garden"
to see the British war ships pass
out on their return home from

took place some days ago -
I had a fine view of them as
they passed. Fort Willeaia firing
a National Salute which was
returned from the Fort Mrs. Borden

good bye & also JHB & took the

a "timber-wall" on one side
of his lawn. Mr. Cleveland
