My dearest Sweetheart
In the language of our friend Jesse Jones written to a friend as from Buckingham Palace—“Here I am.”
We arrived safely here about noon to-day—all well and safe.
The new residence is not as suitable and convenient and as in in good taste as the former. It is 11 Place des Estats Unis.The President’sbed room is on the street side of the house and I am afraid will be noisy—and Miss E. is nearly as bad—They are on the first floor. The dining room is on the second floor. I am the most comfortable located of all on the third floor—Close is next to me—then, Miss Benham and a room for Miss Margaret. The house inside reminds me something of Shadow Lawn.
My darling I wish so for you and miss you. I am homesick for you and Gordon but I try not to show it and I believe that I am getting away with it.
We landed at Brest yesterday on the —just three months ago from The President first set foot on French soil.
Saturday— The greater portion of this day has been devoted to getting settled and arranging details about the house etc. etc. The President is going at high speed—Conference and lots of work to do. From all accounts no progress was made at the Peace Conference during his absence.
