FIORENTINA

CANNES (A.M.)

Nov 18th 1935

Dear Monsieur de Laszlo –

How kind of you to send me the London Illustrated News with the photograph of the splendid painting of the King of Greece [7817] – Thank you very much, also for your kind and interesting letter of Oct. 27th –

[Page 2]

It was a happiness for me to hear that you were planning to come to Menton with Madame de Laszlo this winter & that you would both come over and make us a visit –

The season of year will be very quiet, but you will not mind if there is not much to do – Madame de Laszlo will play the violin for us in the evenings –

We are anxiously waiting for this war to finish and I sincerely hope that

[Page 3]

I shall never hear that word “sanctions” again in my life time –  

Dominique has not yet come down and the portrait remains as it was. I thought if you were coming I would have it for you to see & perhaps explain to Dominique what he must do – it does not look as terrible now as it did in the Spring –

When will you be here we can talk about the exhibition in London in the early Summer

[Page 4]

King George will soon be in Athens and I hope he will save money during his reign and send it to London for safekeeping & [illegible] as a nest egg for when he will be turned out again by the changeable Greeks –

With love to you and Madame de Laszlo and anticipating the great pleasure of having you at Fiorentina again this Season, believe me

Devotedly your friend

Daria Karageorgevitch
