December 18th, 1939 Dear Mrs. Porter: Every so many thanks for your very courteous note which I just received. I fully understand that it may not be the most opportune moment to look at art treasures with the Christmas rush going on, and I hope that on your re- turn from Indiana, you can arrange to give me a leisurely hour when we can look at beautiful things at ease. I myself am leaving this coming Sunday for Arizona but expect to be back around the 15 of January. May I express at this time my best wishes for a pleasant trip, a merry Christmas, and all the best of luck for the coming year. Always faithfully, (R. H. Waegen) Mrs. Cole Porter Waldorf-Astoria Park Avenue and 50th Street New York, New York
