Marion 9/30/32 Dear Charles in pencil "Bockler" It was a delight to get here 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 sent 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 and French workers and peasants. The workers and peasants spoke marvelously. I think I am satisfied with my new book and am anxious in pen, willing in pencil 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
