Hotel Majestic, Avenue Kléber, Place de l’Etoile, Paris
8th June 1935
My dear Mrs Pethick Lawrence
I enclose the Luxembourg Stamp papers which you wanted. I am sorry I could not find it & send it to you in London. I did so wish to say goodbye to you both (if nothing else over the telephone) but my last days in London were so full of engagements—it was a rush to get to the station in time!
I am comfortably settled in room 741 of this Hotel. Mrs Brunschwick gave an at Home for me yesterday where I met many of our French friends—specially the delegates to Istamboul
I saw the Italian Exhibition yesterday & spent hours over it. The old “Primitives” are lovely beyond words. I couldnt tear myself away from them. Miss Getty took me to see Notre Dame in the afternoon. You will be amused to hear that the caretaker of the “Treasures of the Church[”] started muttering something—on Miss Getty making enquiries—he told her “why cant our women dress in such beautiful clothes (pointing to me) they are simple & decent & beautiful”!
Miss Getty said my blue sari had got an admirer!
I had a busy time in London—but I enjoyed the work & my visits to friends very much.
I shall be leaving for India on the 14th
Goodbye My warmest greetings & love to you both
Yours affectionately
