In a letter to his mother during his European Tour: “I have a nice room just around the corner from the Luxembourg gardens, where I can sit and write and watch the children. Everything in the gardens is for children–its beautiful the way the French love their babies. They treat children as though they were the same age as the grown-ups–they walk along the street together, a man or a woman and a child, talking and laughing together as though they were the same age.”
