Peggy Darling,

Yes. I'm still here in Hamburg!
Now that I've gotten to know the
place, and people don't seem so strange
and unfriendly, I'm crazy about
it. It is really beautiful and I doubt
that it can have changed much since
you were here—not at any rate as compared
to the way places at home change.
It is really lovely—with the Alster and the
Elbe and the weeping willows and the
Swans.

And I've been having a marvelous
time. As I said, the Sterns were
wonderful to me, and I also met
some Herzfelds, relatives of the [Baruch?] [Raufmans?]
through a nephew whom I met in N.Y.
