to meet you in April in New York, or Washington
and if things go on well at home, go from there down
to Lynchburg and stay a minute with John and either
there or elsewhere for us to pass another month until
I get ready to return, then come back here and
remain until Dec{abbreviation sign} and then quit for good? —
Or, meet you in England or Germany, and spend
my sixy days there. If I cross to America I have,
or can take 120 days. If I stay in Europe I can take
only 60 days. Of course this would protract
my ^{^final} stay here on account of the money I would spend.
The most economical way of spending vacation, would
be, for me to go directly home, and stay there until
I got nearly ready to return; going and coming
would not cost me over $500, and my pay for the 120 days
would be $3,333. Then I could return, stay here until
Oct and draw pay for 40 days during my transit
in returning ^{again home;} though it would look a little mean
to treat the Gvrn^t that way.

If I get through the winter well it seems
almost a duty to myself to travel, and change
my atmosphere; + employment and thus, rest. I always
improve by travel. I am quite anxious to go to Jerusalem
