The tragedy in the house of my dear Professor Violin, which is being tested so sorely, is shocking. 4 I am therefore turning to you with a request to send me, if possible by return of post, five to ten copies of the prospectus (if this is not possible, then at least two or three). In a letter to my dear old friend Violin, I shall propose a few suggestions. Most cordial wishes and greetings from the two of us, © Translation William Drabkin, 2006 |
