Text
My Sweetheart,
I am sending in tw two separate envelops some pictures taken since during our trips across the Atlantic aboard the George Washington, the others during visits to England and Italy.
Miss Edith had her first GB Tea Party this afternoon. About fifty present. It was very successful.
I had an enjoyable dinner at the Jockey Club this evening, many prominent ladies and gentlemen present. Our host was Admiral Andrew Long.
Mrs B. Harriman is over here living at the Ritz Hotel—a finger in every pie—“said to be very close to the President,” I hear, among diplomats and French people.
This Embassy under Mr. Sharp was the poorest run place imaginable—Hence—you can guess the change. I hope Hugh will do better; he has a poor precedent to follow. The State Department is conspicous for the poor material representing our governments every where we have been excepting London. The Colonel has been quite under the weather for the past several days. Physically & otherwise, the work has been too strenuous for him.
General is recognised by all—including WW as the big man of brains on the Commission. Every one considers the President the biggest man in the world to-day.
