9 rue de la Paix, Paris.
July 22nd., 1937.

Dear Hans:

Your two last letters of June 25th-29th., and July 7th-8th., I have not answered yet and I want to thank you for same.

FREDERICK BECKMAN:  I don't believe anyone in the firm knows them, and I consider it therefore a great deal better not to bother them here and we can try and sell them some modern paintings this autumn. 

W. R. HEARST:  We just have to wait I guess, until he is in a better mood!

MR AND MRS BRISTOL:  Do keep after them so that through her we might be able to get to Flesh.

YOUNG Mrs. Metcalf:  Who is she?  I only know a middle-aged lady!  You know, of course, that César and I have been right along on very good terms with her.  She is a very charming lady and has a lovely house, but so far has not indulged, but she is certainly a "key" to the social set of Providence.  However, there again, the new set is probably a great deal more interesting.

MRS CROWNINSHIELD:  Is she related to Frank C.? of Condé Nast??

BELIN:  I am sorry you couldn't go to the Belin's?

MRS CORNELIUS J. SULLIVAN:  She is a very good friend of César, and I am also, I think, on good terms with her.  I don't believe, therefore, it makes much sense your going to see her - but I have no objection to your calling.

WILLIAM TAYLOR:  I don't doubt he is in town as long as you say he is, but we have not seen him here.

CANADA:  All right, make your further investigation with Robert Landry and Emil Singer.

METTERNICH:  Isn't it strange that you never heard from the Princess

AUTOMOBILE EXPENSES:  I am writing by same mail to Liechti.  I am sorry to disappoint you, but the firm will just pay you half of your running expenses, up to $80.  That is, the maximum of $40., per month

BEATRICE CARTWRIGHT:  I have not seen her yet.  I shall try and see her if and when I go to the Riviera.
