4 square de Verdun, Paris, 1oe Le 27 decembre 1948 Dear Jack My very best wishes for the New Year, to you and all the Conroys, wife, sons and daughter -- and doggie. There are still a few days for hoping 1949 will be a year of peace and freedom and justice and plenty... before we begin to be disappointed. Still a few days when we can believe that in 1949, the United States will unclear something else than spending money, that the French budget will be balanced, and that Mr. Truman will start a New Deal! So let's be happy for the rest of the year.
