Dear Friend, 1

I have not replied to you before now because I wanted to wait until the arrival of your Masterwork . The latter finally arrived this morning, so thank you most warmly for it. I will get to it very soon, and am looking forward to reading it.


Most cordial greetings from
Your devoted
