East Hampton, 3 August 1920
". . . Articles--I am not in such a hurry since I have only to do Mexico and begin the Metropolitan . . . . [H]ere it is rather cool, and I suffer terribly with pain all over. I have read about the immense success at the stadium and so many congratulate me about it. . . ."
