A. E. White:
Dearest Mother:
Well, land on my feet whel ever
I go. We arrived here in Warsaw
yesterday at noon. Capt. Harris,
Mr.. Campbell and myself, got i.,to d
"sea-going hack" as we call thosc'
open carriages, drawn by what once
.. was a horse. This baroucho was really
only built for only two, people
30 by the time three of US with num-
erous pieces Of baggage draped our
selves therein and thereon, one could
scarcely see the vehicle. We had an
awful time telling this Polish driver
where we wanted to go. l tried Ger
man, French and English. Forum
ately, he could read, so we wrote
the address and he got us'to our dss-
tination-10 Foksal, that is the name
Of the handsome street where we are
located.
Here, again, we are fortunate to
be installed in the mansion of Po-
lish Count, a magnificent modern
home. The Red Cross is very FORUM
alta to have gotten this place, for
Warsaw is more than filled with peo-
pie coming back after the Germans
evacuated. Relief organizations Of
other countries have found it imposs-
IDLE to get suitable quarters You
See we live, that is, eat and sleep
here, about forty of US, men and wo-
men workers, and the officers are in
another private house some twenty
minutes walk distant.
You have heard me speak of Count
Zamoyski, a great friend of Prin-
cesse Murat, whom l often met at
her home. l saw him few days be-
fore leaving Paris and we exchanged
addresses. didn't know what
street address to give and he didn't
know that he would be here in War
saw SO gave me his army address.
He is a First Lieutenant in the Pol
ish army, attached to the staff of
one Of the generals. At dinner last
night, / met Count Szambek, liason
officer between the American and
Polish Red Cross, he speaking Eng
lish fluently. l asked him if he
knew the Zamoyski family. He said
ives, very wei, and they live JUS.

He also knows Princesse Murat, so
had cordial visit. He told me when
when could best find Count Alex
ander Zamoyski. so called this morn
ing and was delighted to see Luschuk
or something like that as his name is
called in Polish is, and to meet his
father and the younger brother,
Count Michael or Mikel. The Coun-
tess is still in Paris and arrives Ia
about two weeks, and the young
daughter is at school in England
They invited me to dine with them
q their club tomorrow.
Really l am most fortunate &c
know this family-one of the oldesi
and richest, most famous of Polish
aristocracy. l wish you could see

palace, has been requisitioned by th'
Polish Government as general
residence.
