Deeply honoured Sir!

 

I very much regretted that your kind visit did not find me at home, I got back home very late as I was invited to my brother’s[1] in Rekawinkel on Wednesday, but I will come and meet with you at the Hotel Bristol as soon as I have something positive to report in our case.  Until then I commend myself to you with my warmest greetings.
