Antwerp. July 11th Wednes. 2 P.M Dear Aunt Susan, Your note with enclosure from Maude et. came this AM - also storage receipt from Gillig and a postal from Mamma written while they were stuck in the head of the Delaware, and sent off by the pilot - I went to the Red Star office this A.M. but no word yet of the [Vaderlande?] — but just now at dinner a gentleman, an officer of one of the other steamers of the line tells me she is "reported" but could not say whether from England or Flushing — if the latter she will be here by six this eve. — if the former some time tomorrow. Do you have to go with Mrs. M to Scotland after all — it's too bad but I suppose can't be helped. I have received a charming trio of rooms here for us all connected and a bed for each so we can be delightfully comfortable if the folks are tired and feel inclined to rest. How we will talk! I wish you were here to join in and make it a quartette — That was a very nice little note from Maude. I shall be dreadfully tried if the ship doesn't come up this way— Lovingly R—
