The fact is Mary I have not been well for two months - My digestion is raising the ? with me. and I have been taking it as easy as I could and am going away to a country place in Wisconsin for two months to try to get well (why in hell should I) If the spirit moves me I will write a book while I am gone.

Tomorrow I am going tup to Wisconsin to look at a place where I hope to spend the summer And am just rushing this off before I go.
