Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Letters Written to Maude Gray and Marian Wickes 1917-1918 November 9, 1917. I am back at visiting the hospital and have a position at the mairie; an interesting work this last, but it takes it out of me. I have to give so much. You see, I take the official notification of death of this arrondissement to the nearest relative and get the papers filled in. Some days I go from the rich to the poor with such violent transitions that it seems incredible such extremes live so near each other. I think I know the slums here now ... some places are like illustrations to Eugene Sue´s books. One day I had to break the news of her only son´s death to a poor old woman ... cook to a bachelor gentleman, and she sat rocking herself and saying only her daughter could comfort her. Well, the daughter was working in a laundry at the other side of Paris, but I found her and drove her to her mother and had the satisfaction of seeing that she had what she wanted. The girl had no hat, an old black shawl on her head, and I don´t believe she had ever ridden in a motor in her life.
