Tomorrow afternoon I dine with Mr. Bing and see his private collection, the next afternoon I am to be the guest of Mr. Koechlin who has the finest collection of Oriental art in Paris - The doors of the home of the late Mr. Gillot [[strikethrough]] is [[/strikethrough]] are also to be open to me.  Mr. Gillot was the first frenchman to buy Oriental art and it is likely that his collection will be sold at auction some time next year. The collections of Messrs Manzie, Vever and Baroness de Bairn are also to be shown some if I dare trust myself to such attractions. Bing is mighty kind but very seductive - All frenchmen love money.
