Perhaps you will keep a diary on the voyage home. If so, you may send me
some quotations from it when you are again at your home in Wisconsin. I
hope you are writing a little every day about the sights which to you
are new and interesting in the Old World.

MARIE G. L.--There is no charge for the publication of exchanges. Each
person should pay the postage or expressage upon the articles which he
or she sends. As to which should forward articles first, the
Postmistress can not decide. In every case trouble would be saved, and
misunderstanding and disappointment would be prevented, if exchangers
would follow the advice always given at the head of the columns devoted
to their interest and pleasure. Write first to the person with whom you
wish to exchange your treasures, and await a reply before you send
anything. This should always be done.
