. . There was an article in the Nov., 1952,
Holiday telling about Peru and how cheap it was to live there. . .
I realize how much of a handicap we would be under. As time
goes on, I get a little deafer, and God knows I am too old to try
to learn any Spanish. . . If we could rent a modern furnished
house and get reliable servant(s), then I don't know but what I'd
try it. I just don't like cold weather. At the same time, I don't
want to get into any particularly tight place. The article in
Holiday was very favorable, as you know it would be. But the real
facts might be far, far different. If I were 30 years younger,
and without any wife or family, I think now, I'd sure try it just
for the hell of it, if for nothing else. I wouldn't under those
circumstances stand back, or even be fearful. But as it is, it is
different. What do you think about it?
Frank and I had a whale of a time last month going to Kansas,
Okla., Texas, Miss. and Kentucky. You just don't know how high in
Methodist circles us Durhams are. I'll tell you. I found it all
out on this trip Frank and I took. Grandpappy, my grandpappy,
Jacob Durham, came to Russellville from Perryville, Ky., in about
1828. About three miles east of Perryville, on the way to
Danville, is what is known even now as the old Durham Farm.
