Summary
She says she has a lot of problems. It's the first year she hasn't been able to send out New Year's greetings. It's difficult for a single woman to pull herself together when she has all the "butchers" against her. She hopes she'll succeed--or die, which would be more pleasant. Maurice Garçon always asks about Rosenberg, and Amante is being very good to her. He also asks how Rosenberg is doing in NY. [On the second page] I wish that at my death, all the paintings from Spain, painted there, be given to my executrix, Micheline Sinclair [Rosenberg's daughter] and shared with her brother Alexandre Rosenberg. Signed, dated, and with her address. Suzanne has a copy of this document and is aware of the terms.
