… downstairs space, seems to me exorbitant. Christo thinks it possible he may come down, but more likely that a satisfactory agreement can be arranged with Hassan. In that case you would have all the extra storage space, and an apartment for Dorothy Hannah, as for me there is a place further down the road which I like better than Mr. Teodosios's which I can have for 5 shillings a month. (I think Tryphon lived in it last year.) (It cost 3 1/2 then.) All seems very satisfactory.

In the mean time I am most grateful for the use of your delightful quarters. They are giving me a comfortable and stimulating start on what looks like a pretty formidable job.

If there is anything you would like done in the way of preparing them for your use, please let me know. The things have been moved back from the other house, the screen door has been put up, and a little repair work has been done on the window screens. Some of the cloth netting has rotted and you may want to replace it. But the general condition is all right.

You will let me know if there is anything you want done.

Yours cordially, Virginia Grace
