As fine a Summer day as you could ask to see, wonderful cumulous clouds through which, the air men must love to plunge - be enveloped and then emerge beyond in the entrancing blue
A cable to-day from Corrina, saying all were reasonably well - getting few letters from me. in answer to the regular output from their own hands - the same story is heard on all sides.
Had word from Tom Stevens. he is at Brest and proposes to put on the "Drawing of the Sword there. with the help of the "Craig Players" - I'm a little sorry perhaps to have the mixture of Soldiers and Professionals. but I may be wrong - in any case Tom may not be able to do as much with the Jeanne d'Arc as he had expected if he stays away much longer -
I sent a man to [[?]] [[?]] him from Chaumont and shall send him down to Brest at once, with some costumes.
News of the Battle still very favorable and Chateau Fleury is definitely taken and again in the possession of the Americans - a great triumph  Called on Madame de Bremont and was met there by Mildred who brought me home later
Went to France et Choiseul this morning to see Gertrude and Elizabeth Sergeant. and found Walter Bailey and D'r Frizzell - over here on Rockefeller Industries work.
Took dinner with Elizabeth and Gertrude who had M. and Madame La Rue. most interesting people Gertrude has been at the Hospitals a lot since she has been in Paris - So full of American boys of course
