BR TO ALYS RUSSELL, [22 MAR. 1911]
BRACERS 20888. ALS. McMaster

<Paris>
Hotel Corneille1
Wed.

Dearest Alys2

I got here without misadventure, after a warm and sunny crossing. Sheffer met me at the station and dined with me; I bought Bergson at last, as I am to meet him at lunch today, and I have been hastily reading him. I probably shan’t write again.

Thine aff
Bertie
