Swiss francs. I may be about to buy one or two paintings in Swiss francs and as, in such a case, I will have to send you my personal checks from here in dollars, willyou find out what amounts exactly are needed in dollars to cover the following amounts:

15,000 (fifteen thousand) Swiss francs
30,000 (thirty       "  )    "     "
37,500 (thirty-seven thousand five hundred) Swiss francs
75,000 (seventy-five thousand) Swiss francs

I surmise, in view of everything, that it will be easier to make this transaction through J.P. Morgan, unless by calling up other banks you find better terms and easier ways of doing this. I repeat to you that should we buy them, they will be billed in Swiss francs and it is this currency that will have to be cabled or mailed by check. By the same token, you had better send me a couple of other blank checks on J.P. Morgan personal account.

LLoyds Public Liability. I have just cabled you to take out a general public liability insurance for $40,000.00, irrespective of the car. All said and done, if I am thus covered, whether the accident is caused by a motor or by a golf ball or by a banana peel I may have dropped, it is my understanding that all suchitems would be taken care of and where ever they occur.
