just how rich I am as I'm getting quite wild [[??]] money on all the cheap and new things it would be an economy to buy if I could afford it both for myself and others. If I remember rightly you paid $85 for two months studio rent and I wrote you that the $107 of [[??]] in Italy would be reduced to 89 by deducting the $18 that I had leftover from my 1.25 so that of the 500 you sent over [[??]] [[strikethrough]] of it [[/strikethrough]] should have been yours if you had paid yourself the 85. How I want you to tell me just what you did. How much I have left-at-home beside the 392.17 which my bank-book says I have. I suppose I have the other $500 of my $1000.

If I can get any sort of a decent studio I ought to begin to earn a pile next fall. I'm sorry about the studio and that Miss Van Trump does not want to give it up as I can't think of any other [[??]] I have seen there that would compare to it. I'd much rather have Miss Clements and I don't see how she affords to keep it. She never writes to me and I don't quite like to write and ask her if she is still going to keep it as she would think then
