June 14th [1922]
Beloved Boo
We have come here for 1 night from Boston. Mr Stoeckel1 still sticks to us & pays everything! Today we say goodbye to him & go to the Atwaters – we shall have 4 days with them – Then the Berengaria again. Its cool after the thunderstorms –
There is a very good kind of melon here the canterlope2 & you cut it in half take out the seeds & then it is filled up with pink ice cream. Mr Stoeckel loves sight seeing & the cafe life – Lunch at 1 spreads itself out till 3 or 4! Ralph is feeling restive & says he now knows how Mozart & his contemporaries felt living under a patron.
This will probably be the last letter you may get – we ought to be home by June 26th if we have a good passage – Shall we see you on yr way to Devonshire? Any how we will meet.
