Scope and content
Undated sketch of a dress on Ambassador Hotel, New York headed paper. Paper size matches that on letters sent in 1929. A short note describes the dress which he saw a debutante wearing. Asks if it would suit the unnamed recipient or perhaps Baba. Instructs the recipient: "You must get thin - don't eat anything but pineapples". In a postscript mentions that he hears that Charlotte Brown [now Charlotte Nast] is going to have a baby. [She had a son in 1930.]
