[[prestamped]] HITCHCOCK AND CHASE LIBRARY Smithsonian Institution [[/prestamped]] at Viçasa. After getting my money I went over to Isabelle Hendrix, thinking the Rolfs might be there already. Miss Putnam, the present head, invited me for the day tomorrow, morning service at 7, breakfast and dinner. I was glad to accept and take a day off, I'm pretty tired. I leave Thursday for Diamantina, staying 2 or 3 days, and changing here on the way back for Lavras, getting there about Jan 1. By the time this reaches you I hope you will be quite well again and gaining strength rapidly. Very best wishes, Sincerely AC
