Scope and content

Autograph letter signed to his father from the Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood. Was pleased to receive his father's letter from the Mauritania. Outlines his schedule for the coming days: he, Anita Loos and John Emerson are going to New Orleans on 9 January, then he will motor to Palm Beach, staying just long enough to write a Vogue article. He will not return home until after 3 February, when he is giving a lecture. Asks if his father will still be in New Orleans by the 9th. He has a new enormous camera and is photographing all the stars at the film studios. A call from Anita has just told him that they will be at the Hearsts' ranch for New Year. If he misses his father in New Orleans he will try to be back in New York before he leaves.
