We expect to be back here on Sunday but may stay out later.
Don't worry if you don't hear.

It is grand to see the line of battleships five miles out like dogs in a leash puffing and straining.
Thank God they'll let them slip any minute now.

I don't know where "Stenie" is.

I am now going to take a nap while the smooth water lasts.
DICK.
-- Flagship New York-- Off Havana, April 26, 1898.
DEAR FAMILY: I left Key West on the morning of the 24th in the Dolphin with the idea of trying to get on board the flagship on the strength of Roosevelt's letter.

Stenie Bonsal got on just before she sailed, not as a correspondent, but as a magazine-writer for McClure's, who have given him a commission, and because he could act as interpreter.
