Basle, May 16, 1947

Dear Germain, 
I have received your letter of May 2nd as well as an other one from Mr. Pillichody who sent me copies of his letters forwarded to three hotels in Switerland. 
Enclosed find my correspondence with Mr.A.Barras, Hotel Eden, Crans, Mr. Caroni, Hotel Ascona and the Grand Hotel Dolder, Zurich on whose Board I sit. There I know you will well be looked after and the prices are the same as in the Hotel Baur au Lac Zurich. 
I am certain that you have shown a good choice in your vacation ressorts and that you will have much pleasure and good results for your health from your stay i the various places. 
With regard to the prices, they seem indeed rather high, but please do not forget that you are coming in the peak of the holiday season when hotels are over crowded. It will therefore be fairly difficult to make special arrangements although various hotels have different types of rooms which are more or less expensive. 
Mr Pillichody and I have therefore made the arrangements asked for by you and I hope that our ordering finds your full approval. I shall write you more at a later date and send you this dispatch in order to have you immediately posted on what has been done. 
Kindest Regards, Yours very sincerely
