I am launching with Dwight and Hubert Leguene today and will certainly get an earful. On Thursday my party at the Gladstone is coming off. I send you an invitation for fun. It has all the earmarks of being a good party, anyhow, let us hope so! 

By the by, would you be good enough to let me know Delphine and Tim Gatti's address as I would like to ask them for lunch. I suppose Anna has left by now and you are what we call a grass widower. I had a letter from Miss Standish telling me that Anna would look me up when she comes to New York, and I wonder whether she is here now or has gone directly to Detroit. I would like to see her and would be terribly disappointed if I should miss her; so would you kindly tip me off?

Otherwise I have nothing else for today. Everything has been rather dullish during Lent. However, next week promises to be a very gay with Helen Astor giving a big affair and Elsa Maxwell throwing a Maypole dance. It is really pathetic the effort people have to go into to entertain each other and to produce some gaiety. 

Business has been terribly quiet and difficult and a little pick-up wouldn't do me any harm. You don't say when you are coming up north. Can t you give me any idea so I can make the necessary preparations and have something on ice? You know how quickly the picture changes in New York. 

In the meantime, cheerio and many good wishes. Remember me to Chris. 

As always
