My dear Schroeder: in reply to your recent letter, I have made some inquiries regarding the cost of Living in St. Louis and find that a respectably furnished apartment can be had for from $100.00 to $125.00 per nonth in the section of the suburb where Mr. Russell lives. A fair estimate for the price of food would be about the same; that is to say $100.00 to $125.00 per nonth. expenses only $250.00 might j nent, want etc. This to does include You can see therefore monthly would be about not in include vour Fe any budget E> other such that for right. items as which living clothing, > vou amuse- ft hope this information will be helpful to you in estimating what it will cost for Jean and his wife to modestly yet comfortably in the vicinity of St.-Louis, Live We are much relieved that the serious menace of war in Europe seems to have been averted, at least manentarily, and sincerely hope for the sake of you and our other friends in Belgium that it may be permanently avoided. to you VAB: MS and Mrs. Browning yours. joins me in sending our best regards |
