Dear Mr. Dromandi:

Thank you so much for your letter of July 1st. I was pleased to hear from you again. And please forgive me for not answering sooner, but I have been away with the family on a short vacation.

Please do send me your book on Frederic II. It soulds like a very interesting book, and should sell to one of the University presses. Needless to say that I shall only be too glad to help you with it. As you can see I am still at the old address, but if everything goes well, I intend to move in the fall. Could you therefore send your book to the home address? Thanks.

I was delighted to hear that Olga is planning to come back to New York in September, and I am looking forward to the pleasure of seeing her again.

All the best to you and Olga

Maximilian Becker
