My French is coming back fast….went to St. Paul’s Church and thought of you…ran into the harbour of ‘Segri’ on the west side of Miylene, we landed and oh! the filth & horrors of [?] Greek small town. We drank a couple of cup each the size of a thimble of coffee and smoked a long pipe in a dirty café, swarming with fleas…” More . Fine.
