Dear Mr. Johnson:
I was very glad today to receive your letter of April 10th, with further word in regard to your plans and of your doings in Paris.
I am called back home for a short stay and am leaving tonight, and, until I reach New York, it seems impossible to send definite word to you or Mr. Lyons in regard to the exact date of leaving the house, but I will see that notice is given and, of course, leave everything in good shape, with Flora in charge.In case I return as expected and neither you nor the children anticipate occupying the house until the middle of June, it may be that we could stay on until nearly that date. On the other hand, I may learn on reaching New York that it will be necessary to leave by the 15th of May. If necessary, I will cable you more definitely in a week or two.With kindest regards, and many thanks for your letter, I am,
Very truly yours,


CA Johnson, Esq.,
American Relief Clearing House
5, Rue Francois ler,
Paris, France.

P.S. Sorry to say that clamps have been put on alcohol before the arrival of your letter and no further importations are possible. I will leave a moderate supply of whiskey, both Rye and Scotch, and cocktail ingredients with my compliments and sorry that there is not more.
