Dear folk at Home
Letters announcing the majors safe return are rec’d. I came back yesterday from Salem – Didnt get much there but the trip cost me nothing and I hope good results from it yet
I shall pack up sunday & monday and start home probably Tuesday night or wedndes'ay night next Ill be in chicago wednesday or Thursday probably – But I must stay in town a day or two – I want to finish my work there – I am completely tired out and after I once get home, must lay right still several days –
Write to me in town whether you can have team sent to depot for me Friday or Saturday morn I will write on Monday morn when Ill get home – you will know by Thursdays mail
Ill Have lots of baggage – a waggon load and if the team could be spared

I would charge the University the expenses and something besides if it could come for me to Chicago about Thursd Friday – But Ill let you know of my movements
Glad the major is home at last - wonder if Uncle Flint has not gotten up his spirit of adventure enough to go up to northern Minnesota with me –
Love to All - Bob
