Dear Miss Dreier,

It is nearly a month since I received your kind letter, but I have been waiting to get that portrait of Mme. Duchamp for you, and am now enclosing it herewith. To tell you the truth, when Marcel told me of his getting married, it had the same effect on me as if he had told me he was going to paint impressionist landscapes from now on. But when I met Lydie, I realized he was rather inclined to Rubens. The wedding was marvelous, with all the pomp necessary, and I had my movie camera set up in front of the church and cranked away at all the top-hats, veils and brides-maids. It should have passed in all the cinemas with the actualities of the day.

Thanks a thousand times for the cheque, which is very welcome as the season has been very quiet, and it will help me tide over the summer.

I had a great deal of difficulty with the pictures of your interior; they had been way over exposed as I was using a new light, and I simply had to make the prints on a special paper to get anything out of it.

Thanking you again for your kind favors,

very sincerely,
