February 7 Tuesday – At the Hotel Krantz in Vienna, Austria, Sam wrote to Chatto & Windus.

A friend of mine—Count Conrad de Buisserat [or Buisseret] of the Belgian Legation here—wants to translate into French & publish in Paris some of my books. I told him that there would probably be nothing in the way of it, but to make sure, I would write & ask you if the French privilege had been parted with. He has some reputation in Belgium as a writer of French. He is a fine man [MTP]. Note: Count de Buisseret married Caroline Story, the daughter of Major General John P. Story, and headed the Belgium legation to Washington D.C. in 1909. Chatto replied on Feb. 13.
