On the Princess Irene

1903-11-11

J.G. writes from on board the Princess Irene.  He sailed with Lawrence Hall Fowler, a friend and fellow architect.  The boat sailed October 24th, 1903; yet this letter was postmarked in New York on November 11th, after it had sailed to Genoa and returned back again. A privately-owned passenger list confirms the October 24th sailing date, with J.G., Fowler and Mark Twain & family on board.

J.G. asks his mother to send four trophy cups to the Calgary Polo Club for him, as the prize for winning against the Rochester team in September.
