Letter to her mother Janet Auchincloss, in full: "You can't imagine the horror we went through here Aug. 12—reading about hurricanes—yesterday Lee & I had the sweetest letter you could possibly imagine from Mrs. Whitehouse—describing every detail at the party—from Janet's dancing technique—to Yusha's Arab friends, decorations—your green organdie dress—it all sounded too perfect for words and we were so happy. I know you must be exhausted now that it is all over—but it must be nice to know it was such a memorable evening—Jack has arrived—and it is too good to be true—he is in marvelous health—had a lovely rest in Sweden—we have a nice room at the Hotel du Cap & luckily a lot of his English friends are in the South at France—so we have had pleasant dinners with them—I feel so glad for Jack to see him being able to drink wine, walk without crutches—last nite was Michael's birthday & we had a party with birthday cake—Jack at last seems to be relaxing & not talking about going back to careen around Massachusetts—so if he keeps feeling well—we may be here till late September—probably going to London at the end—Then when I come home there will be the house to fuss with—which I am terribly looking forward to—All love to you Mummy—& to everyone & especially to Rini—who must be in 7th heaven—We will write again soon—please don't get 2 tired. I hope you are still coming in October—Lee & M will die if you don't." In fine condition.
