"Reveling in the most marvelously fascinating environment - scenically, architecturally, historically, & climatically - that I’ve ever encountered in my life! I can’t begin to convey any idea of it except by exclamation points-I’d move here in a second if my sentimental attachment to New England were less strong. Will stay here as long as my cash hold out, even if I have to cut all the rest of my contemplated trip.”
