last mail. I should be greatly pleased to go tomorrow to exposition, but cannot on that day.I have just returned from an absence of between one & two weeks. I intend however to go there in two or three days. I should enjoy an interview with you quite as much, as you could. I will write or telegraph you what train I come on, & if you should remain there, will see you in ^expo^ building; or if I cannot stop at Building immediately on my arrival, (as I shall go on further) I should be pleased to meet you at Depot. I go up Monongahala river on boat. will you please write me a line (after finding out) what time in the day the boats start up to ?
