in pencil Marion 9/20/32

Dear Charles - - - It was a delight to get home and find the painting waiting. It seems to me you have 

already sent me too much. It is lovely, having a strange floating tender quality that stirs me.

 I have just come from Europe and my new novel is about to come out soon.  I went to Europe suddenly - unexpectedly. Romain

Rolland had put out a call to workers and intellectuals of all countries. - to meet - to try to make together some progress against the hatred being built up, all over Europe. A rich woman offered to pay my way and I went.

 It was exciting and dramatic. I think  there was the beginnings of understanding, between German & French workers and 

peasants. The workers and peasants spoke marvelously. I think I am satisfied with my new book and am anxious for you to see it. I think it is alive and solid. It is a disturbing book but it should be. I wish I could see you. It is very beautiful here now. Write me. How are plans? Will you be able to work through the winter? My love to Kack. Sherwood
