I've been here2 two weeks. I haven't written
you because I've been too heavy-hearted. You know when one feels down-and-out one
somehow shuns the friends one is fond of. And
My mother's3 state is very piteous. I'm at
this hotel because it's so near the apartment hotel where she is. But I want to see
you awfully, Zoë, and I'll go into Los
Angeles4 in a few days. I'll telephone you beforehand. The Breakers

Don't, please, betray to
anyone the fact that I'm in this part of the world. I know some people in Los
Angeles and am in no mood to be a literary personage at present. It will cheer me
up
a lot to see you, dear Zoë.
