Fifth Avenue and Fifty-fifth Street

July 2, 1949.

Dear, kind friends Rose and Ben,
Arrived yesterday in New York - am resting here 36 hours - and tomorrow early in the morning I'm flying to Paris.
I want to thank you again for wonderfull time I've spent in your house.
You are real peoples - and I think it is the highest praise I can bestow upon you.
There is no real peoples in Hollywood, I'm sorry to say.
Everybody is scared of someone - or something
I am never scared - and I love to be with peoples - who also are not scared.
I have rested and relaxed in your house. I am looking forward coming there again - if you let me. Next time - with my blue-eyed georgian princess.
