Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. He discusses his fascination with maps and his thoughts on the definition of a yacht. Hafner also informs her of the excessive Florida heat and the cloudy weather that prevented him from viewing Mercury in the sky. Hafner explains that many people in the hotel are sick with malaria and recounts his attempt to help a hotel employee named Susie avoid a scam. He also tells a narrated tale on behalf of his pet owl, Jack, and recounts an argument he had with Mr. Clapp about riveting.
