Dear Lmile--

Thank you for thinking of me in connec-
tion with your new journa}]; but it is quite
impossible for me to undertake the task, and
you would not press me to make a commitment
that I felt I could not properly satisfy.

. I am sorry it has been so long since see
1nB YOUs you still have not met my wife
Marguerite. She was born in. kax Paris, but -
spend much of the tar in Jarnac and in
Angouléme, places we hope to visit some-
time in the not-impossible future, and

which would of course bring us not too

far from you..

All best wishes,
