Pierre it is wonderful to think of you so close. . after all it took less than a week

104 now to get a letter!!! isn't that wonderful.. when one of yours from Peking took two and a

half years..

I wonder so much how you find France and the morale of the people and what you think can be done to give people FAITH again .. well some day I know you will write to me and give me a few of your ideas.. and maybe su ggestions too!! Until the time that we can talk again..

Yes my loving thoughts are always with you ..and I know that you are going to give SO much to France and will be such an inspiration to your colleagues (not that that interests me SO much)... there are SO many who want and need you so much more than they do—as you know dear the lost sheep has great value!!

And now I must go.. It is so hard to stop.. sometimes you feel so close tome..

1217 Mth Street N.W. Washington D.C., May 11, '46

Your precious letter from Paris came about a week ago .. it was so your old self and you seem so close .. it made me very happy!! Pierre I'm sure that you did make a good decision, even if my heart does not agree, for you might have been delayed here and now you are there and soon you will know how things are and what may be your future moves — It would, WILL, be so wonderful when you come herefrom there, when you have time and your mind is more at ease, and in the meantime it must be very good to be making contacts with your old friends there ..and I hope you will soon have your life more or less organized!! I don't like to think of its getting TOO organized there!!!

Your trip sounds like so many these days. I had a note from Tilliejust as she was arriving in Shanghai, saying she sliared a cabin with four women and five children!!! I wonder what has happened to Mme Raphael? Mme de Margerie wrote her that I would be so happy to have her stay with me here.. but I've never heard from her. . Mile Saizeau is still in Chicago, having difficulty getting her Chinese visa .. Through the Vincents I think it is all fixed. . but now the news from China is so bad, it makes one hesitate to go there just now. I was so pleased with the photograph you sent me, but I cut it in two and sent the Leroy half to Saizeau!!! She has had some hard times, but I think on the whole it has not been too bad.
