Darling - arrived last night at 10 from Madrid, on a super air-conditioned train. I hated to leave but felt all re-thrilled by the time we reached Valencia. Scenery on the way: castles rising out of nowhere, rainbows over grape vineyards, a Tiepolo sky -- and those changing cruel looking hills. Grace, I find, is helpless re. the scenery, doesn't know how to see or what to do with it. And it is exhausting! Yesterday on my last Prado visit, I felt I knew the main floor cold. Here in V. there's supposed to be the next best museum, & I'm 
off this a.m. first, on a bus tour of the city. (Grace hates sightseeing). Fly tomorrow a.m. to Mallorca. Awfully humid here. Damp sheets, etc. Did I tell you I'd seen a wonderful jai-alai game in Madrid? Hate to miss your letters.
Love & kisses xxx. I get on boat in 11 days...Helen.

Later: Museum a disappoint. except for one Goya.
