GRANVILLE
The letter you addressed to Pierre Granville, 16 Rue Paul Valery, re La Fresnaye has been returned to us by Geo. W. Granville 515 N. Camden Drive Beverly Hills, California, with the following note:

"La lettre ci-joint est faussement adresee. J'ai habite il y as des annees a l'adresse indiquee a Paris. Je ne connais pas l'adresse de Pierre G. mais je pense que vous le trouverez soit dans l'annuaire soit au Palais des Sports.
Regrette le delais.
Meilleurs souvenirs
(Signed) G.W. Granville

(The letter was sent to 16 Rue Paul Valery because there is only one Granville in our Paris phonebook and no initial is given.)

DOM HUGLO
writes as follows:

"Je vous remercie pour votre lettre de renseignements du 19 mars et surtout pour l'envoi du magnifique Catalogue de vos collections. je l'ai examine avec soin, mais je n'y ai pas trouve le Graduel d'Aixla-Chapelle au sujet duquel je vous avais ecrit le 26 fevrier. Le livre a sans doute ete acquis par un collectionneur etranger: il n'est pas a la Bibl. Royale de Bruxelles.
En vous remerciant encore, je vous rie de daigner agreer, Monsieur l'hommage de mon respect.
(Signed)
