1st May 1931

My dear László

Armand’s^[1] colleagues and dearest friends are joining force to offer him his academician sword, drawn and executed by Louis Cartier.

The names of the donors will be engraved on a metal plaque at the bottom of the case. You would blame, and I even more, for the absence of your name on the list.

The official presentation will take place at the Institut d’Optique at the end of May or early June, at a date which will be communicated to you as soon as possible: I hope you will be in Paris then.

Send me promptly your subscription and a cheque (not above one thousand francs)^[2] –

My wife and I send you both our best wishes.

L Bélugou.
