beautiful from Germany up, - all thru green wheat & oak & potatoes, etc. with big grazing lands and red cattle. Only a few towns with steep roofed houses and then a sail of 1½ hours in a ferry (they took the train on it) where we could walk about & breathe the clear air and see the land about us. Then 2 more hours on the train to Copenhagen. The city is quite unique, - northern architecture, unusual devices. I went down to the station after getting my traveller's cheque changed for Danish money and bought a ticket for Stockholm for tomorrow. The[[crossed-out]]y[[/crossed-out]]n I came back and bought a map of the city and learnt where the Nat. History Museum is located. Maybe this afternoon I will visit it. I mean to rest up today, tho, for I have a long day's trip tomorrow on the train from 8 A.M.-7 PM to Stockholm. Part of this will be by water across the [[crossed-out]]Baltic[[/crossed out]] water from Copenhagen to the tip of Sweden, and that should be lovely. Doris plans to come up in 4 days. I don't know how she will make out by herself, but she was determined to go and I can't do any more than hope for the best. I shall be glad to join Sid in Stockholm. We shall probably return here the following week about the 22nd of July, and stay a few days. E. Deichmann will be here then. 

I was relieved to get your letter (addressed by Mrs Barry) of July 7th, and I know you were all right and having a little riding about with kind people. Too bad about Mrs. B's knee, a knee is hard to get over but if she keeps quiet during the hot weather maybe it will recover. I am sorry to hear of Gertrude's illness. Addie will be very lonely if she doesn't live. The old woman isn't any too well & with all this trouble will be aged indeed, poor things. Maybe Marie will look after Addie a bit. 

It seems so good is sit in a quiet room. Paris is a nightmare of noisiness day & night - a regular ant hill of people rushing wildly about all the time & squawking their heads off. In a little while I am going over to that corner restaurant again with my coupons and try to get a bowl of hot soup, maybe an egg, too. My appetite is returning and I trust the bellyache won't. There is a clock on a Town Hall nearby and it is [[crossed out]] s [[/crossed out]] sounding ½ past 11. Thank goodness, people here, for the most part speak English and you can get around easy enough. You should see them all riding bicycles - perfect swarms of old & young all pedalling along rapidly. Doris.
