Dear Laszló,
I lately received a complimentary letter from the Hungarian State Secretary of Art thanking for the book[1] we sent him & begging me to give you his greetings. We have also received - in an indirect manner - an invitation to exhibit a set of pictures at the “Frühjährigen graphischen Austellung das Nemzéti Salon”. We should like to
[Page 2]
to [sic] exhibit those of the originals of the book illustrations which remain in our possession - & also other work we did in Hungary - in Budapest. May I ask you to be so kind as to give me the benefit of your knowledge, as we have no notion what kind of exhibition the one above mentioned is. It would naturally please us if there was a chance of some of our work remaining in Hungary
We are having a mild

winter here. I hope London is not as dark as usual -
With very kind regards from my wife[2] & myself I am | sincerely yours
Adrian Stokes.
