P.S. What forthcoming anti-climaxed re-evaluation by the Spectre of the Rose?

Dear Dan,
The piece comes out on Sunday.
Congratulations on the new blue Volvo; about time sales paid for some of these things.
 
We've arranged to rent the Basile place again next summer, and thus have all that time to consider ways and means of arranging to buy it (if they sell it during the year we are through.) And we never did look into the other place, the one near the lake, which we will have to take into account next year also, hopefully with you along to point out things we would have no idea about. The issue is nothing but money: for myself I have never been so taken with a place in my life, and even now look at last summer like a kind of dream. I dont even care which of the two places we finally might take. If we can somehow work out the money part, we will surely buy one of them; but in Sept our sub-lease here in NY runs out and we may find ourselves saddled with a rent so killing that no other payments could possibly be managed.

I too like the California ladies; when did you meet Blossom? Did they come up to Cold Spring? I find her a gas.
