He mentions after his commencement, he went to Boston with a friend with the last name os Lawrence. Afterwards he went to Portsmouth and found work at American Ex. Co. (maybe American Express Company) He enjoys the work and likes the boarding house that he is staying in. He one complaint is that there are no young people of the right sort but Lawrence will be arriving on Monday to work in the same city so his social life should improve upon his arrival.
