Pièce 356 - Letter from Pierre Sayn to Lady Frazer

1 item

143 Boulevard Raspail, Paris VI [on mourning stationery] - Thanks her for the book, the translation of the 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' by Hyacinthe-Loyson with the preface by Anatole France; has created four panels on Keats and the poem for the Exposition [Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne]; he does not understand what she means about [Émile] Audra, whom he knows only via letters of business, and who is always courteous; he has not been to see Geuthner very recently, taken up as he was with the death of his father-in-law and the Exposition; it is exam time and Janine is a baccalauréat candidate, but without much enthusiasm.
