If the main street were Fifth Avenue and Madison Square the Governor's Square, his palace would be Delmonico's and our rooms would be the corner rooms of the Brunswick, so you can see how well we are placed.

We can sit in our windows and look down and up the main street and see every one who leaves or calls upon the Governor.

We are now going out for a dinner and to one of many cafe-chantants and I will tell you the rest to-morrow, when I get sleep, for after five nights of it I feel done up, but I feel equally sure it is going to be a great experience and I cannot tell you how glad 1 am that I came.

Love to you all and to dear Florence in which Trowbridge, who is a brick, joins me.

Moscow--May 1896.
DEAR CHAS: There was a great deal to tell when I shut down last night, but I thought I would have had things settled by this time and waited, but it looks now as though there was to be no rest for the weary until the Czar has put his crown on his head.

The situation is this: there are ninety correspondents, and twelve are to get into the coronation, two of these will be Americans.
