Dear Jerry & Lucile

 When this gets into your hands I presume Tennessee and I will be either in New York or  Era? bound for Paris.

We sail May 14 - on the Rochambeau from New York. Here is the story. Paul Rosenfeld had an unexpected windfall and invited me for a 2 months trip to Paris and London. It seemed to me a great chance as I want at least one look at the two old towns. Also Winesburg is being translated into French and there is some chance I may get booked? up for English publication.

 The point is that I dont want this to interfere with our getting up something real for next year. I want the 4 of us to try living and working together.
 We should be back in New York about aug 20 and if you are there I'll find you. In the meantime you can write me Paris c/o Jacques Capeau - 

21 Rue Du Vieux Columbier - and tell me where I'll find you when we get back.

 For a time Tennessee planned not to go but later changed her
