remained two days, but the Dr.
thought it desirable for him
to keep quiet a few days longer.
We left him in the hands of a
good doctor and skilled nurse.
Also my brother remained to
keep him company. We have
good news concerning him. He
may be able to reach Paris today
and join us the last of this
week. This place is en route to
Nice where he will go for a months
visit with his Parents.

always inclined to feel if one does
not feel this influence of its lovely
climate its beautiful mountain

We had the company of Mr & Mrs
J. Hopkins across the Ocean and I
am pleased to find he has great

be more acceptable to us for
there is no provision for heating
this building. We feel very far
from home here for the Hotel
is immense and no one here
that speaks English save a few
English people who are strangers to us
