September 27, 1946

Dear F-G,

It is ages since I have heard from you and I do hope your silence is not caused by ill health.

If I am sending you these lines it is mainly to express my surprise at never receiving any acknowledgement to my letters.

A little while ago you sent me a cable requesting me to write in connection with your trip to the states. Within twenty-four hours I sent you the necessary letter. Have you ever received it?

Then in June, upon my return to Paris, I wrote to you about Madame de Limur, who was going over to Paris, and to whom I strongly recommended that she get in touch with you. As I am going to see her sister in the very near future I would like to know if you ever saw her and what transpired.

Then you cabled and wrote about Douglas Gordon of Baltimore, and I understand he is back. I would like to know from you in a few words what actually happened if anything. Also I sent you during the summer any number of descriptions, in particular about the paintings by Hubert Robert and the Gold woven tapestries.  I never heard further from you.

You wrote to me asking me certain questions about the small tables at Constantine. That was the last I heard on this topic.

Then I had given Madame Albin those two black Savonnerie panels, removed from the chairs, and was hoping to hear how they came out.

Affectionately yours,
