Harry, if come up Thursday (say by the 5.13 p m train) go up to the hall by 7 oclock, and make yourself useful, if you feel like it—Give this note to the one it is address'd to2—ask for him there—(I will mention it to him—he is bossing the thing for me)—act as usher, or door keeper, or help in the box office—it will be fun for you—

Walt
