  • Hawkins didn't want to leave Copenhagen but his 'Holland agent' [sic] asked him to accept a gig in Scheveningen. Scheveningen 'is quite marvellous' and 'I've been quite successful so far.' He hopes renee is having a great time at her bungalow. 'if I have my (Hawkins') way one of these days I shall put a stop to' Renee being with any other man. They seem to be discussing marriage. hawkins is working at the Kurhaus in the afternoon and then the Paleis [sic] de Dance in the evening. He mentions a 'special snapshot' Renee wants to send him and wonders if she's 'suggesting one in the "raw"'. If so 'it would finish the job of setting me crazy'. He asks Renee to reply to Den Haag, Hotel Americain, Wagenstraat 49.,,
