-Page II - (re: Mrs. Dillman)

divore [[divorce]] suits, etc., etc. which she has had this year.

Anyhow, she told me she would come back to New York in December before going to Florida to get her clothes and should I then have anything to show her, it might be a more opportune moment.

She also told me that she is definitely counting on my staying with her in Palm Beach and told me that she is especially having the garden apartment in the Bachelor Wing arranged for me.
There I would be at absolute liberty to come and go when I wanted and could see whom I wanted.

She also told me that Mr. Hito of Alavoine is arriving on the "Champlain". Would you please talk this over with me because I think as far as the Windsor house is concerned a conversation with Hito might be very fruitful especially now that he knows on what good terms I am with the Dillmans.

The objects shown to Mrs. Dillman while here at the galleries yesterday afternoon were the LANCRET, "Apres la Chasse" by which painting she was quite impressed. No price mentioned. It was
given her to understand that we were not free to offer the picture at the moment inasmuch as one of the institutions had asked us to reserve it for them in the hope that they might get a decision by the, at present, absent trustee.

The BOUCHARDON statue, ex-Mortimer Schiff which she [[strike-through]] liked very much and which she looked at from all different sides. No price mentioned.

The little VOLTAIRE bust by ROSSET. Price mentioned $3,500, but the object did not seem to impress her sufficiently, nor does Voltaire, as such, please her.

I also pointed out to her the light wood commode No. 5091 bringing to her attention that this commode had been sold a few years ago at a considerably higher price, but the Estate of the owner would be willing to accept $3,000 at which price it was a bargain.
