Tuesday.
Dearest,
General Pershing and Grasty lunched here to-day. The General improves on acquaintance. Taking it all in all, he did a good job over here.
Grasty is about all right again but he surely had a time of it. He leaves to-morrow for London where his wife is for ten days visit—
I see a good deal of Peter Gerry. Matilde is most enthusiastic about Miss E.
BMB gave a dinner to-night at the Ritz which eclipsed anything seen in Paris in many a day. There were about a hundred guests present—followed by a dance. The costumes surpassed anything my eyes ever beheld—The diary will contain a full description which will interest you—
BMB is making a big hit here in a business and social way. The President thinks more of him then ever.
I am terribly anxious to get back to you and the boys—
Good night, Sweetheart,

Wednesday,
I dined this evening with Julia Brambilla and her husband. A very nice party at the Ritz. I see them frequently. I make it a point to do so as I don’t want her to think the International difference influences my friendship. She is fine about the situation, so is her—husband—
I spent a busy day—hospital and duties here keep me busy all the time. At night Wagner and I work on the diary which has assumed enormous proportions—more so than I anticipated. But I believe that you are going to like it this time.
