THE NEW YORK TIMES

TIMES SQUARE

May 30, 1930

Dear friend de Laszlo:

I am delighted to have your note of May 17^[1] upon my return from a week’s visit to Washington where I attended the Convention of the Advertising Federation of America, the members of which I addressed at dinner last Tuesday night. The other speakers were Secretary of the Interior and Senator Harrison.

While in Washington I dined at the Hungarian Legation with Count and Countess Szechenyi.^[2]

I note with interest that you executed portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Ochs [6480][6486], which I look forward with much pleasure to seeing.

Thank you for the reproductions of the portraits of Marshal Lyautey [6118] and Marchesa del Merito [13322]. I am showing them to our pictorial editor. I agree with you that the lady is very beautiful.

I spent Tuesday of this week in New London, Connecticut, where I addressed the students of the Connecticut College for Women.^[3]

I greatly enjoyed meeting the Earl of Derby^[4] on his recent visit here. I attended several functions in his honor and he was our guest in The Times building.

I am looking forward to the pleasure of seeing you in the Autumn. I shall tell Paul^[5] of your letter when I see him.

With regards, | Sincerely yours,

Louis Wiley
