LÜHNSDORF KÁROLY

[Manuscript 2: letter]

27th June, 1930.

You may remember that some time ago you kindly accepted from me for the Museum a drawing by Mr Lühnsdorf, a Hungarian.[1]

Mr Lühnsdorf is at present in England for a few days, and he has come over for the first time to London with the object of studying all the museums here. He tells me he would be so glad if you could possibly receive him as he would like to introduce himself and thank you personally for accepting his Drawing. He will take the opportunity of calling on you next Monday or Tuesday on the chance of seeing you.

Hoping to have the pleasure of seeing you soon.

Believe me, | Yours sincerely,

Campbell Dodgson, Esq., C.B.E., M.A.,

The British Museum,

Gt. Russell Street, W.C.1.
