Place	Buenos Aires
Description	Casals is happy to have received four letters from Metcalfe that day. He spent much of the day being "bothered" by friends and journalists. He reminds her that he told her from the start that nothing would change his decision to marry Andree. "I asked you at that moment if we must separate and drown this love because I didn't have the right to require yours, since I considered that our union (according to society) was unrealizable. You answered me that you had the courage to endure all." He asks her not to insist any more that he break his promise. "I beg you to avoid as much as possible discussing this subject with your families in New Rochelle and Paris - it could cause serious complications that would profit nobody. My mother knows since the beginning that I am engaged to Andree, she knows nothing more than that." He will arrive in Barcelona around August 20th He is feeling much better, though he still needs more rest. He thanks her for her gifts of photos and- two volumes of Tolstoy. He sends his regards to the Von Glehns, whom he hopes to see in London the following winter.
