It Is Such A Pity That These
High, Red Buildings Could Not Have Been Kept Outside, And The Old
Mormon City Left In Its Original Quaint Beauty.
We will return to Omaha soon now, and I shall at once become busy with
preparations for the winter East.
I have decided to go home in
October, so I can have a long, comfortable visit before going to
Washington. Faye wishes me to join him there the last of December. I
am not very enthusiastic over the prospect of crowded rooms, daily
receptions and "teas," and other affairs of more formality. But since
I cannot return to the plains, I might as well go to the city, where
we will meet people of culture, see the fascinating Diplomatic Corps,
and be presented to the President's beautiful young wife. Later on
there will be the inauguration - for we expect to pass the winter in
Washington.
