August 28, 1922
I can't tell you what a joy it was to see you yesterday, dear and très très belle amie. How I loved looking at you again. And hearing you. And seeing your home— everything.

J. M.: “Are the trousers full enough?”
K. M.: “Quite full enough!”
J. M.: “You're sure?”
K. M.: “Certain!”
J. M.: “They're not too full?”

K. M.: “Certain!”
