Dear revered Master, 1

Many thanks for your lovely card. 2 On weekday afternoons I unfortunately have no free time, so I must ask you for one of the next Sunday afternoons and await confirmation from you as to which one you have chosen. 3

From Oppel no news has yet arrived; on the other hand, I had a lovely letter from Violin. 4


All good wishes to you both from
Your faithful
