4 don't think it's wise at this point for us to consider splitting the co this January for the purpose of taking only part of it down there.

Sunday. Well, that's as far as I got. Letty landed yesterday at dinner looking fit as a fiddle and with samples of things she had done, also news of you. I don't know whether that visit to you will come off or not. I've mentioned it to Jap, and he knows he can make it by train, since one person driving all that distance for such a short time doesn't seem so good, and even if he would go alone it would be swell, because he really needs it. He's been doing the most intensive kind of teaching during the past few weeks, and as long as he is on the lot it doesn't stop, because even outside of the appointments, if we only get together for a drink at somebody's house, it goes right on as long as there are people who want to know. And it's right that it should be so -- because that's the kind of teacher he is -- but it's wearing him out, and he ought to get off the lot for a few days where he won't be exposed to the continual unendingness of it, so that he can come back fresh and carry on some more. But if I say two words too much he won't go. Of course I want to come, too, but I'd rather have him go alone than not at all. So why don't you make him come? Letty said that she thought you were coming up on the first of October, so maybe he'll think it's too close to that. I may be just talking thru my hat anyhow. Joe went back to N.Y. on the 15th August, but he's been coming over weekends. He's around today working on automobiles with Paul and Arthur Rich.
