DLA019-0204 Translation

9 May 1931

My dear László,

Safely received your cheque, which I have passed on to Labord, the treasurer of our Association.^[1] I thank you for your promptitude, and am delighted to see both our names in the comments book, where I will find the set of old friends, which would not have been complete without you!

Thank you also to have thought [illegible] an old [Colonial?] & to have sent me this President Maréchal to our exhibition.^[2]

I hope to see you all some day at Bellevue, when Charpentier will give you more freedom.

So see you soon, and kind regards,

L B
