My Dearest Irene: I have wanted to write you ever since I first arrived underlined in France, but this has been a underlined hectic summer. You probably know that this city of Omaha raised a fund and asked me to have a portrait painted for them - your own idea, you see! I was terribly puzzled about choosing a painter, and I at last decided on Leon Bakst, AKA Lejb -Khaim Rosenberg who did certain costumes and settings for the Russian Ballet, you know. He happened to be in Paris just now, and he was the most interesting man in sight. He seldom does portraits, but some french friends of his like my books and told him about them. And he said he'd like to paint me. It's a long story, how I came to meet him, and someday I'll tell you all about it. I will certainly be at home for Christmas this year, and I hope to go out to Red Cloud the first week
