I can't make out wether you are in Antibes or J. les P.

I'm having a second highball and my disposition improves. I know about drinking and I'd like very much to stop it. Not even one. You are [[strikethrough]]write[[/strikethrough]] right about what you wrote a few days ago, the comon pattern of stupid boring results of drinking, I don't like it and I don't think I need it, I don't want to escape (except the day I thought I'll have the tooth extracted). I'd like next year to have a year of good work with very little drink or smoking

I'll arrange to have the house painted while away. I'll pay Elenor a couple of weeks extra.
I decided to take the large trunk. It's just as difficult 9or easy) as the small footlocker and I'll put in it all the stuff for parents. It'll come handy for our [[strikethrough]] dep [[/strikethrough]] return too.
I'm getting travel jitters, I left all sorts of unfinished business for this week. I wish I were in France with time to kill, I wish I were happy (and what I call bored, I confuse happiness with boredom I need you very much dear, I worked too much lately in top of my loneliness and I had a toothache, and I had several crisis of suspicion of you, and I had to write business letters to Detroit, and had to deal with the silly boys of Harper, etc. etc. a very sad period. Thank God I'll see you soon)
Devoted and loving you ever, Saul
