Hotel Piora, Airolo¹, Switzerland. June 24².
I have not been progressing so fast as I hoped³ and my docter
recommends me to stay in Switzerland through most of
July. So I shall not be at St Andrews at their function. Is
there any chance of persuading you to come out and make a tour,
like that delightful one of last year? I am at present at Piora
with two colleagues, who will be staying on for 10 days or a
fortnight: but I am not very much enamoured of this place and would
infinitely rather join you. I would suggest that, if you could
come out, the Zinal valley⁴ which is next to^ the Evolena⁵ one, would
be an excellent one to explore. The station is Sierre⁶,
next to Sion⁷. I shall certainly leave this^place by July 3rd.
