2324 Mass Ave—
Dearest
I received your telegram this morning. I am sorry but I will not be able to meet you in New York this week and motor back with you to East Hampton. I am better, and I think the improvement is largely due to the actinic ray treatment. Miss Logstaff applies it to my chest every day. It has much the effect of a sun bath. The pain in my chest is much less and I am feeling better generally; so I think it wise, so does Doctor Melhorn to continue this line of treatment for at least this week. In addition, to the beforementioned, I am resting in bed most of the day. Lizzie, at Mr. Ross’ is taking good care of me. The telephone seldoms rings.—I am keeping quiet and resting. The Radio is the only company except when Mr. Ross comes in. He has been away since last Thursday. Sam Rank is also staying here but he is away most of the time.
Ruffin was to see me to-day; he is very insistent that my tonsils be cut out. Melhorn and Carr advise otherwise, for the present, at least.
As soon as the pain subsides in my chest I want to leave for East Hampton—I am much in hopes of being able to be with you all by the first of next week—Perhaps, the end of this week—Sunday—But, it all depends on my condition and progress.
I paid all bills Saturday which were at least twenty—market, automobile accessories—garage gas etc; will forward reciepsto you when they are returned.
Flying Comet came home in front again last week.
I am really keenly disappointed not to meet you in New York this week—see the wind up of the Convention etc—and motor back together—I want to leave nothing undone now towards getting into normal condition again, so we can have a real good vacation together.
In the next day or two I am going to talk with Stitt about two months sick leave.
Give my love to the boys. Tell them that a Jennie wren sat in my window this morning, singing. I think she was saying your breakfast is ready—come—lets go to the dining room—
With all my love, my darling—
