Scope and content
Autograph letter signed to Mummie and Daddy from the Everglades Club, Palm Beach. The climate is wonderful, but it is difficult to get anything done in the heat and he wants to get back to work. Will leave New York in mid-March. The season is ending and flu has been terrible in New York, though he has avoided it. Has taken a lot of photos for Vogue and his exhibition has been a success. The ballroom has been far better than Elsie de Wolfe's. After 5 days, with 3 more to run, he has sold 5 pictures. Anita Loos has taken him everywhere. The richness of the place is appalling.
