Miss M. Norris
on board s.s. "Paris"
Pier 57,
New York

My dear Miss Norris,-

I don't want to send you a telegram to wish you a happy journey. I prefer to write you this little note.

I am really upset at tje idea that you are leaving the States nearly on the day when I arrive here, and I hope to see you in Paris. In any case I wish you a very happy journey and hope you will have a good crossing.

I wanted to relate to you something which is of very great interest for you. Do you know that [[underlined]]Eugene Glaenzer has left us?- [[/underlined]] It has been published in the Paris papers. He has bought a house in the South, I believe near Grasse. He told me the other day that he is awfully sorry that he cannot any longer stand the climate in winter, and in consequence cannot give me the necessary time to attend to business. I do not need to tell you that I am awfully sorry to see him leave because we are lon years friends, and you know very well, my dear Miss Norris, why I write you this and why I tell you that it has a great interest fo you. One thing is certain, that you can more than ever rely upon the secrecy of anything that you and I are combining together.

Believe me, my dear Miss Norris,

Yours very sincerely,
