Weather and patriotism amid Philadelphia Centennial heat
The writer recalls a heat wave as Philadelphia prepares for the centennial celebration. He notes crowds, flag fever, and the Nation Board of Trade meetings at Delmonico's, with discussions resisting silver coinage as legal tender.

He hints at writing from within the nation’s second century.
