am going to write to you after the [[Ronard?]] sale where pictures by Degas Manet Monet & I are to be sold, for I want Rob to know the value of the pictures his Father left. I put them down at $200.000 - at least - From all over Europe buyers will be in Paris. I ought to be making my fortune, but that is the way things go, here when my pictures are sought for I cannot work!

Mathilde gives me so many weeks to get well.  The change of air upset me very much at first but now I feel better but I don't get any heavier & I might be if I am to get stronger - 

Dr Whitman is the one who has done me most good - He thinks your boys wonderful, I suppose that poor boy of Elsies never was strong - I hope dear Mrs Van Rensselaer
