Hotel Piora, Airolo,1 Switzerland. June 24.2
I have not been progressing so fast as I hoped3 and my doctor
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 Sierre,6
next to Sion.7 I shall certainly leave this^ place by July 3rd.

Yours ever B.P.Grenfell

2. June 24, 1906.

3. This is not in the wake of Grenfell's first nervous breakdown.

5. "Evolena" is an alternative spelling for "Evolène."
