I appreciate all the help that I've received through this site. As I continue to remake my Germany collection, adding better descriptions, I'm left with questions and puzzles I cannot answer on my own. Here is another. This is an airmail cover from early 1921. I understand the postage amount - I think. I do not understand the address. Agra? Agra, India? And I cannot otherwise read the remainder of the address. Your comments and observations, please.

I think the 3rd line is Perischen Hauses which i think would be Syrian House - the brackets i think say - away on sick leave?

Given Roy's additional info - I think the letter is being sent to the Sanatorium Deutsches Haus Agra - this is the reference to the heilstatte in brackets i think. See this link to the sanatorium.
