    Beirut - Jan 7 - 1922

Dear Sherwood Anderson -

    Thanks a lot for your note. Since it seems to be a time for the passing of gold embossed chamber pots let me blurt out that there's nobody in the country such a note means so much from as from you - The [idion?] is mixed but I hope you get what I mean - I hope we can drink another glass of beer together before long like the one opposite Saint Germain du Pres last summer.

    Yours
    John Dos Passos
