To George Sturgis
Hôtel Savoy
194bis, rue de Rivoli
Paris. June 21, 1936
I am established here rather comfortably, with a splendid view, otherwise in a rather modest hotel, where everything is rather faded and dingy: but I like the quiet, and if the very warm weather we have been having doesn’t keep up too long or become oppressive, I expect to stay here all summer. I go to lunch with Strong every day at his hotel, and in the evening pick up a little dinner or supper–usually only a roast-beef sandwich and a demi of beer–at some café or restaurant. Cory is also in Paris, but at a pension of his own, and I see him only two or three times a week.
Other friends will probably turn up later.
Yours affly,
G. S.
