Dear Fitts

A man whom I believe to be yr/ sincere well
wisher, seems to think you are worth saving BUT that
you have got to be MOVED from Andover or wherever it is
you pedigify.

I think it is possibly too late, but
you certainly shd. take at least yr/ summer vacation
somewhere where the name of Hawvud means nothing, and where
you will get out of the habit of teaching high school
english or whatever it is to the sub-collegian.

The constant contact with those knowing
less ( appreciably and definitiely less ) is a great strain.
Few have survived it.

You have got, at least for a few weeks to
get to somewhere whence you can see noo england ( if at
all ) from the outside.

I admit it is damnd hard to tell any one WHERE to go.
Time was when there were feet at which etc.....
Picabia's conversation might do you more good than anyone's
( if it is what it was in 1921 )/ but it is not on tap
for a nickel in any registered slot.

at any rate/ cast a skin/ git born again/
shift/

This communication is more serious than....
an so forth.....
