Dear, revered Master, 1

When could I see you in the next few days, without disturbing you? I could make Thursday from 3:30 4 o'clock onwards, whenever it is convenient for you. Or Wednesday towards 6:15 – or would you prefer the following Sunday morning? Many cordial greetings to the two of you, from all of us!


Yours
