the lake & the air have been torturing me night and day. But I've grown frightfully patriotic of late and decided that as long as my health lasted I would - whether I'll change my mind later on or not, knowing myself I dare not say. I wish you'd come in and stay awhile with me. I'll have two perfectly good empty rooms & you can have the whole of every day from 9 to 5 to yourself & me in the evenings. Not much to offer I admit, except for the pleasant effect it would have on me - then if we found our company reciprocatively delightful, we could spend the evenings planning a trip around the world together. I have it planned allready - Spain first, then Rapallo for an undetermined length of time, then Egypt, India, Persia where we would bask in the soothing sun of the extreme east - heavy perfumes & rich coloring. Then China & Japan & last of all South America. It would be nice wouldn't it to get away from the petty world we know, and see new things and I cant imagine a nicer companion for travel than you would be - then we'd get a native costume from each place & bring them all back to our house in Grenwich
