strain - plays & sings anything very nicely on "geetar."
The paradoxical elements of this city - as its viceral grandeur & beauty in both great expanses & small spots in windows & buildings - versus the nervous pace and money scramble - and failure to clean-up (or over cleaning as the cleaning up of buildings which is awful) creates confusion and paradoxical moods for me. Much more time is needed alone in walking much more - talking to more people. Someone like Michel - born, raised, educated here is good - he loves "his city" very much, but thinks the French people are becoming terrible & would like to live in London, perhaps much better than Mike Todd who has hardly felt the city at all in his 3 months here - he still goes off to movies.
What about the [[Cabinowltys?]]? and did you hear result of referral regarding resumption of atmospheric testing to scientists? Did Walter Bailey answer my letter? Could you give me suggestions of points to make in a letter written on Doug's behalf? Are there any architectural or any kind of books you want me to get for you here? They have your Brazilla Neutra & the American Zodiac issue around - but no S Calif Arch - the French must be backward on subject - will try to stir up a few booksellers.  

Transcription Notes:
Does anyone know the name referred to? Cabinowltys, Cabinscoltys??
