My dear Colonel:

Coleman and I arrived in Paris together late during the evening of the  17th inst. Since when he and I have been very active in seeing the current exhibitions and in securing some things which are being held for our mutual inspection and possible purchase.

We have closed for such of the art objects as we desired and this morning he left for a hasty visit to London after which he will return to Capri. I was sorry to bid him goodbye! He is a very refined and sympathetic character, and a genial and uncomplaining companion. He also is really a great expert in many directions of beauty, particularly the textiles, glass, paintings, sculpture etc etc. from the 12th century down to the 17th. A valued teacher he has proven to me!!
