⇧ Dear Schenker,

I am very sorry that, as you are very busy, you have simply not set a date for a get-together with me. I shall be arriving tomorrow, Saturday, at the Café Imperial, between 6 and 7. If you are not there, or if it is not possible for you to be there, I shall expect a confirmation from you.


Most cordially,
