Mrs. Phillip D. Wilson, Director
Division of Supplies
American Relief for France

Dear Mrs. Wilson;

I have your letter at hand in regards to the painting gift from Feves, France, which is being held at your Paris office for further instructions from us. As I understand the letter, if the package was forwarded to us, it would come by boat to New York and express from there out to here. We have a Morganville girl living in Paris at this time; her husband is with TWA, and they are coming back to the States sometime before June 1. I am writing her today to see whether they would be able to pick the painting up at your Paris office and bring it back with their personal belongings. You might (talk ?) to Mr. Glamaron and give him the facts, with also her name and address and he could get in touch with her and see if they would be able to bring it back with them. I am also writing her and giving her the details. I do not know your Paris address, so I cannot let her know who to get in touch with, so it will have to be from the Paris office to her.

Her name and address is as follows:

Mrs. Edwin T. Utley
34 Rue Boris Vilde (this is a suburb of Paris)
Fontenay aux Roses
Seine, France

In the event it has to be sent via boat and then express we of course will pay the charges. Mr. Torlotting, the school teacher, wrote me some time ago about them sending this painting, and by the tone of his letter, they were going under the assumption that the package would be delivered to us; but just in reverse; from the way ours has been going to them. We have sent a painting to Feves, but we shipped it Airexpress, which cost us about $38.

Just as soon as I hear from Mrs. Utley, I will let you know what to do; as it now stands there is no big hurry to get the painting to us.

Sincerely yours

Daniel J. Roenigk
