Dear Robert
I know you are heartbroken - and I share your sadness - I felt this was an irreparable illness although Colette was so brave - Did she play the game? Did she have hope - probably, otherwise she wouldn't have left Paris - She made plans for next year. I am grateful to her to have spoken to me about you, and about your painting - She was fond both of you & your work and sure you were now launched and successful - She enjoyed your culture as well as your gay mood. Now, dear Robert, your friendship exists for me linked with her memory. We had the privilege to have known a real great human being- I dont know Jennet's address- My thoughts are also very much with her - and I wish I could write her a note.

We treasure your last visit - I wonder
