To Marie Adelaide Belloc
Lowndes,
Oct. 4, 1944

Regrets her letter has been lying unanswered for two months. Has been in Grand Manan. New
York is insupportable, and travel west is difficult because roads [i.e., railroads] almost totally occupied with military transport.
Only
place she could go for quiet was to the island, and no mail was forwarded. S. S.
McClure now lives at the Union League Club in New York. His eruptive energy has dissipated, replaced by an
overwhelming gentleness and calm. If the war ever ends, hopes to get back to London and see her. Childhood years in both France and England must have
produced an interesting person!
