Much esteemed Mr. Laszlo,

Like me, you will have received an invitation to vote for the jury for the Venetian medals. Without any kind of proposal, it will be totally impossible to reach even a fifth of the majority – maybe it would be helpful if our group voted together – even if a consensus with the Hagenbund is not within reach. Maybe you, as our chairman, would take the trouble to suggest members of the jury whom we

should vote for. I think we would all consent to this. October will find me in Paris and I hope to see you, esteemed Mr. Laszlo, and your much valued spouse there in fine health. Please remember me to her warmly, I have the honour to remain her obedient servant and send her sincere greetings from my wife.

With my most heartfelt greetings to you, I remain your truly devoted

Scharf
