Dear Mrs Hearst,1
Dr Hunt and I expect
to reach Paris on Sunday next, en route2 for
England, and to stay there a few days. As
I heard from Dr Reisner3 that there was
some likelihood of your being at Paris now,
and we should very much like to see
you, if possible, amongst other things
in order to talk over the forthcoming
publication of Part II of the Tebtunis
Papyri, may we give ourselves the
pleasure of calling upon you some day
early next week? My Paris address
will be Hotel de l'Univers et du Portugal,4
Rue Croix des petits champs.5 We are
spending the next few days in a brief
tour through the Roman remains at Arles,
Nîmes etc.
2. From their penultimate (fifth) season at Oxyrhynchus.
4. "[N]ear the Louvre" and "well spoken of" according to the 1898 Baedeker (Paris and its environs, p. 6).
5. According to Baedeker, the hotel was at Rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs no. 10 (Paris and its environs, p. 6).
