My dear
This is a lovely day and I have had a nice ride with the President and Miss E. otherwise, have remained in all day seeing numerous persons and writing and reading. I am feeling so much better. But, I miss you terribly. And I want to see you and the boys—I went to church this morning with the President & Miss E. It was the Scotch Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Hugh Block of the Union Theological Seminary, New York, but a native Scotland preached. He wore an American Army uniform. The church was filled with soldiers—mostly American. Lloyd George was there. It was one of the best sermons I ever heard. He preached on the lessons of the war. I wished for you. It was wonderful and a great treat.
This afternoon with Dr Axson we motored to Barbizon—and Fontainbleu—got out and walked around the various places of interest. To-night, I attend a dinner at the Ritz given by the Greek Minister Mr Coromelos. It was a very international affair. Among the countries represented were:—England, America, France, Greece, Italy—Spain—Sweden; Panama, Poland and New Zealand.
As a result of my outing and gayety I am feeling fine—Lots of love to the boys—and the very dearest for my darling Trudie—I hope to be homeward bound by the time this reaches you—Good night.
Ever your devoted.
