his wife in deserving city life and going back to
the farm The article attracted the attention Of
many and as a result Philip Curtis received many
letters from city dweliers seeking to gain from
making similar change. However, their ideas
were mainly inconsistent with the possibilities of
the exchanged residence. ...
stAll they wanted me to do" Curtis now writes,

nothing, yet would be equipped with steam heat,
electric lights and running water, which would be
isolated yet near cultural neighbors, where the
