Esteemed Master,

I apologise for having disturbed you this afternoon, but your sister, who came to the train to say goodbye to me, charged me to take you a message when I have time to do so during all my work!

Mrs Henderson told me that you only returned from Paris yesterday, and I can imagine, esteemed Master, how busy you must be!

May I also mention that before leaving Budapest, the cream of the most distinguished society came to me to ask me to convey their “grands homage” to you. I apologise again if I disturbed you, and if you have the time please let me know when it would be possible for me to have a chat for a little half-hour.

With respectful greetings,

Aranka Gellért.
