Mr. Philip de Laszlo,

Dr. F. Dengler’s Sanatorium,

Baden-Baden,

GERMANY.

Dear Mr, de Laszlo,

I am happy to receive your letter of 27th August and to note that all goes well with you.

I am lucky in being here at a most unfortunate time for England, and I am observing the critical situation with interest. MacDonald^[1] resigned this morning. It is believed here to-day that a National Government is possible, the right wing of the Socialist participating with the Conservatives and Liberals.

I am now the guest of the American Ambassador,^[2] but plan to leave England for Paris on Wednesday morning, 26th August, and shall go to the Hotel Lotti, sailing for home on the S.A. Bremen on 31st August.

I hope you have already met my friend, Countess Mercati. Please give her my best wishes. Who is at the Sanatorium? I am confident your rest will do you great good.

With best wishes, | Very truly yours,

Louis Wiley.
