I will look over the things there and bring home any thing worth while and sell or store the rest. Everything is certainly very different since the war, I did not notice it at first but I realize it more each day. Things are not kept up as they used to be. The people seem to be falling back - certainly there does not seem to be any progress and France seems to have lost its smile - I wonder whether it will ever come back. Of course for us with American dollars it is easy to get along and it is absurdly cheap - but for the French people it is terrible.

Aline has been cooking for us but we have another woman coming tomorrow as Aline isn't much good any more she is not strong enough and she has her husband to cook for.

I haven't had any mail since I came down here so I have had only the one letter from you but I hope for another any day now. I suppose the Findlays are in the cottage by this time and I hope all goes well. Also the art gallery must be open and I hope they have success. you must write me about it.

I think of you constantly and I do hope all goes well with you -
