We are in Angers now and we just got through seeing these tapestries. It’s rainy, we, and very cold. The tapestries are in a great big chateau. I’m really getting tired of rolls and tea for breakfast every morning. I can’t wait to get to England. Write a letter, I’ll answer it the 21st of July.
Bye, Mary

We are off to the hot wilds of Africa. Twas so good visiting with you last evening and we can hardly wait till June to begin our “Safari” con familia Burnham. I bought a French language cassette – always hopeful, at least.
The place hasn’t changed a bit – neither has the food and its weight building capacity! Actually there’s not that much excitement but it’s just good to be here. I’ll call you when I get back to Calif. at the beginning of July. I got a job which starts July 9th. Whoopie.
Alicia and I are enjoying very much this beautiful beach. It has been a great rest! It was wonderful to see you after such a long time and to feel that time has not changed the relationship at all. Thank you so much again for all your kindnesses and very lovely Delft plate. I hope that not so many years will pass by before seeing you next time. Happy return to the US with best wishes and warm saludos.
We are spending 3 nites in this lovely old wine (Burgundy) town. It is fascinating. We had lunch with friends of Alex’s and then were taken thru all phases of winemaking from vines to tasting in his caves. The weather is also perfect. Wish you were here, too.
We are here in a nice hotel right on a truly beautiful beach. We spent from 8:30 am till about 3 pm on the train from Genoa – thru Monte Carlo – along the mediterranean. very impressive. We’ll be here 2 days so can rest and enjoy the beach and beauty. All ok.
Arrived in Paris yesterday eve about 6:15. Have a nice hotel. What we’ve seen of the city is beautiful. Walked a little bit last night and are ready to start sight-seeing this morning. Stayed in Toulouse night before last — it is certainly an interesting city. Everybody seems pretty good. Jane and Tom don’t eat much but are taking vitamins and I guess they will get along. I am getting fat, I think — the French bread and rolls are so good I can’t resist them! Jane and Kathy seem to be getting along ok. Surely wish I had brushed up on my French! It is frustrating not to be able to understand.
Later….
We had a lovely day today. First went to see Rodin’s Museum with all his sculptures – then to Napoleon’s Tomb–then to the Eiffel Tower (which Tom Loved!). Bill and our family went part way up. Then took the Metro to Montmartre and to the lovely church Sacre Coeur and then to all the art places around– very interesting. All tired tonight but OK! Ate in the hotel – it is small, quiet and very nice. We think Paris is great. Hope everything is ok with you.
