My dear Hutchinson
Many thanks for your attention to my request for rooms, at this hotel, which I found waiting for us on our arrival the 24th
I was advised to take rooms "high up" so I wrote you as I did
I assumed my informant thought they would be cooler, and hence followed his suggestions -
I am more than pleased with them and the attention we have received.
But as for heat = it has not shown itself & we have really felt the cold more than at Chicago.
I wish it was so that I could come up the Nile, and ^ have dined with you but I imagine (perhaps) that my calls from home are imperative & sail from here on our [[yacht ..?]] trip tomorrow & for home by April 6th.
