Dear Dan:
We have been slow in answering your note. Billie wanted me to answer it and I am slow at starting on such things.
If you will deliver the picture to Paris we can take it to Feves. We had planned to make another trip there before
leaving on our vacation. Did you check with TWA to ship it to Paris? PAA does not fly into Paris. The nearest place they
fly to is London. Pan Air do Brazil flies in here but that is a South American Co. affiliated with PAA. You should address
it to me in care of TWA, Maintenance Department, Orly Field, France. Don�t put Paris on the package as Orly Field has its
own post office. Try to get the picture here by the middle of March as we plan leaving on our vacation Apr. 1st.
Now as to the pictures. Billie is writing her mother this same information. Will you give the colored films of Feves to
Billie�s mother, sometime in March, then we are going to ask her to put all the negatives we have at Morganville in one
package, register it and mail it to my mother in Michigan. That way I can show all the pictures to my folks as we are
spending the first of our vacation with them. After we have shown them the Feves pictures, we will send them to have
duplicates made and the print of the church. I know they are expensive. As to getting more pictures in Feves, it would be
difficult as it always rains when we are there and there are some of those we sent to you which I could never get again.
I have been experimenting with color flash photography lately but sure need some sort of book on the subject of color
photography. I tried some inside the rest house and chapel at Belleau Woods last Sunday. I�ve been getting some blue
flash bulbs at about 30� each. They are a new item in France. This past week we have had a few sunny days but almost all
winter it has been dark and hazy and not good color picture weather. Billie now has a Zeiss Ikoflex and takes B+W of the
things I can�t get in color.
I hope it will be convenient for you to give the Feves pictures to Billie�s mother about the latter part of March as I
would like my folks to see them and also want to be sure to have the copies to bring back with us at the end of May. See
you in Apr.
