"Dear Albert I don't have the pink stool under my feet, I have it under my eyes. What a lovely object. Max [Jacob] came to pick it up: "We went to the Gingerbread Fair and the Laurens Menagerie show. Bijoux was sung everywhere. The weather was beautiful - and all the newborns in their mothers' arms breathed the pure air of the merry-go-rounds." She got Le Monde illustré: "Albert Flament is all about Marie. [...] It was Max who told me to write to you on this paper he brought back on purpose. [...] I saw Misia a second before she left. They were having dinner with Picasso - to rush off to Venice doesn't mean happiness in Paris. That damned Coco [Chanel] who only thinks of fear". She'd like to be in the country. "I'll probably put trees in my paintings"...
