Harlem and do not like flats but by comparison
our natis heaven when sized up with the suburban
town where we spent ono wretched year MIS-
Harlem began TO think OF moving to the country
early in the summer and we spent week inves.
tigating the advantages Of suburban towns around
New York. Unless you have done that sort
Of thing you don't knowhow seductive the country
Is at that time Of the year particularly TO people
who have spent tho winter in q fiat

house which suits us we will mako some inquiries
about our ncighbors and II each one speaks well
Of the others am sure that we will be satisfied.
