We have trouved an appt. at 113 Rue Notre Dame Des Champs semi furnished over a saw mill. on a 3 mos to 3 mos. to 3 mos etc. basis.

I went around to 70 bis when we got in and the concierge recognized me as yr. beau frere but due to an utter manque of the key entrance was not effected. I thus discounted Ford’s report that you were expecting us to occupy until your return.

Its no fun living on your street in your absense so come on home sometime. It is mixing snow with the rain today.

Ever eat an oyster Smith?

What the Graham Cracker is to you the oyster has become to me. In Paris a day dont go by I dont pestle them. Gaw what bivalves they have there.

You can get Graham Crackers in Paris.
