Łódź. Maria Chasin replies to Schulz’s letter, where he told her about his first days in Paris.
Chasin* responds to a letter sent from Paris between August 5 and 12, in which Schulz reported on his first days in France: meeting André J. Rotgé and hesitations about the proposal to organise an exhibition, unsuccessful attempts to establish contact with Aleksandra Pregel* and Georges Rosenberg*, a visit to the Louvre. She is not surprised by the adversities Schulz faces in the French capital – many French people spend the summer outside Paris. She writes: “I understand; actually, I sense how difficult it must be for you without knowing the language!”. However, she is convinced that Schulz “will also be left with impressions of a different kind, which he will be aware of [...] while distancing himself from them”. She especially wants her friend to “have some impression also about the French Paris. Communing with emigrants only makes him distant”, she explains.
She plans to go to Paris in late October or early November. If Schulz returns at the end of August, they will have two more months to meet and talk in Łódź.
