My dear Elliot:

Cordially your friend, Charles R Harris

The Anglo-American Hotel, Vienna, Austria, March 19, 1907

Dear Aunt Emily:

You will no doubt be surprised when you read the heading of this letter and learn that we are now in Vienna We had really intended, as I wrote to you, to spend the entire months of March and April in Berlin, but a sudden whim sent us on to this city

Until we caue idea of the city, and thought it a place of little interest I was surprised to find it a place of so s and beautiful streets

Still more was I surprised to find what a festive, stylish place it is Paris may have the reputation for fashi+on and frivolity, but Vienna lacks only the reputation; it certainly does not lack the fashi+onable and frivolous air

The other day in one of the shops here, I discovered, as I thought, a very fine miniature I purchased it to present to you, and have already sent it by post It ought to reach you as soon as this letter

We have not received the usual letter from you this week, but suppose it is because we so suddenly changed our address The necessity of forwarding it from Berlin has probably caused the delay

Father and Mother join in sending their love to you

Your affectionate niece, Mary
