Scope and content
On way to New York City again; would have liked to give it a miss this year, especially being so late, but Vogue want his services; hopes to do some colour photography. Won't get out to Hollywood; any chance of seeing her? Wishes to be there and would if he had job, but Vanity Fair brimful of movie pictures, and long way, expensive journey.
Discusses Nancy and husband's anticipated travels, lovely wedding. London terribly gay-- 'the only place that has as far as I can make out'; hears Marge recovered and with Millicent Ramos in the Tyrol; Sybil in New York; Syrie coming out to Bermuda with Lisa; asks after Mercedes, Garbo, Adrian (a pity he works so hard at the studio, high time he got on with more erotic artwork), Marian. Hopes dear Mr E. [Loos' husband] is flourishing and not being kept too close to Mr Thalberg's heel.
In pencil. '[W]aldorf Astoria' in ink at foot (portion missing).
