Unidad documental simple 124 - Letter from Maria Germanova to Elizabeth Trevelyan

4, Rue Nungesser et Coli, Paris XVI. - Thanks Mrs Trevelyan for inviting her to the Shiffolds when she comes to London; afraid she will not be able to spend the night there due to the times of her performances [in Hjalmar Bergman's "Joe et Cie"] and the fact that she is rehearsing for another play at Baty's theatre in Montparnasse and can only be away briefly. Very glad that the Trevelyans will see the play on Friday; is 'anxious' to know what they think of her 'old Rosalie' [her character'], and they can arrange her visit then as she is afraid to settle anything beforehand in case it goes wrong. Is not well, and is having injections for her weak heart, but her doctor promises she will be stronger soon. Rex is 'such a devoted dog', and stays near her when she has her injections; since the weather is cold and their apartment is high up he does not get enough walks and 'is getting fat and gouty, poor thing'. Her husband is, as usual, 'so kind and patient' about her and Rex's 'caprices'. Her son only writes short postcards as he is very busy with drawing plans of machines; thinks he is happy.
