^[[1961]]

Dear Paula:

  Here is the photograph I think I mentioned, of your brother's entry into Turkish society. The two bright-eyed people are Engin, and a famous Turkish actress. The two others are your brother, and Engin's sister. 
  You mustn't, on any account, loan this photo to [[underline]] Jet. [[/underline]]
  I may be leaving here quite soon now, Kenyatta's daughter is in town, and I'm to see her. There's famine in Kenya, and perhaps now is the time to get there. 
  Love to Alan, Gilian, etc. Write.
                                    Love,
^[[James]]

Engin's army duties have taken him into the wilds of Turkey, so I've a new address:
^[[James Baldwin]]
c/o Cevat Capan,
Cevdet Pasa Cad.
Yavla apt. 100/3
Bebek, Istanbul,
Turkey

^[[Would you be good enough to ask the American Express if they have any mail for us & what they are doing with it, if they do. The money was never forwarded, nor was anything else. I've written them two letters, & they haven't answered at all. The number of the money order, if this should come up, is CT-311. I'd just like to know what's happening - they are really impossible.]]
