Summary
He says he's destroyed. He and Robinot [art shipper] went to see the preparations for the framing and classification of the works to give to the Banque [de France] that are [in the apartment] in the Boulevard Montparnasse, and he is shattered. He's very unhappy that the same thing needs to be done in two days. A word from Rosenberg would cheer him up.
