Summary
Saying that if Rosenberg is leaving Evian before Thursday, he'll come see him on Wednesday. He's leaving Paris for Geneva, where he hopes he'll be able to get more rest. He's going to look at paintings and will come to see Rosenberg in Evian afterward if he's still there. He didn't accept Rosenberg's offer to go to Switzerland in his car because he thought the train would be less tiring.
