28 May 1923

Dear Mr. de László

It is very kind of you to send me a ticket for your private view.^[1]

But unfortunately Thursday is quite an impossible day for me. I am busy until after 6. May my wife come in my place?

[Page 2]

We are still anxiously awaiting the appearance of the big book.

I shall visit your exhibition later and may be lucky enough to see you there.

My homages to Mrs de László^[2] and remembrances to all

Yours sincerely

de V. Payen Payne
