Under these circumstances, I assume it would be best to postpone the excursion 2 (I also have reasons for that, at least) and ask you to keep Sunday the 14th free for the same. We shall of course see each other once at the coffee-house, between 7 and 8 o’clock. © Translation William Drabkin, 2022 |
