Dear Porjes:

At this writing the last letter I received from the firm is yours of June 30th.  I am just writing this so that you may be able to see which letter, if any, was sent here prior to our leaving, which will not be, as you know, before July 7th.

Will you please advise Mr. Dattlebaum of my leaving Paris and going to St. Moritz.

Rheims.  I am sending to him the bonde vente.

On September 15th willyou take the necessary steps, though I certainly hope to be there and if so remind me, to send 50,000 French francs (fifty thousand) to Mlle. de Levaque.

In order to allow you to make some progress as to the accounting of my trip to Europe, I do not want to wait until my return to give you some indications of expenses incurred, as well as some of the vouchers.  Regarding the latter, I am sending them to you by this same mail, but by ship.  They will include bills from the Ritz, Paris, as well as hotels in England, Germany, etc., also airplane tickets.

As far as the travelers' checks are concerned, I have spent $250.00 (two hundred and fifty) of my express checks; out of the book made out to Mrs. Seligman, $30.00 (thirty dollars).

Simultaneously I am indicating to you the different trips and their dates:
