[begin page 3 of 3] If there are any you don't care for and think too expensive simply return them. I should think they would look stunning in your country house.

There is no evidence of depression in Paris, everyone is gay & it is crowded with Americans & the hotels are all full. Commercialism is relegated to the background & an atmosphere of art makes one realize that pictures etc have a substantial place & a sound footing.

I wish you were here, the Van Dycks look better than ever, even the group looks fine. Mrs. Huntington, Morgan, Widener & many others are here.

With kindest regards and deep appreciation

Yours Sincerely Charlie Carstairs
