Dear Mr. Schiele!
I would be very much delighted to show our dresses to you and your ladies, even though I don’t know if you will like them this time. In keeping with the seriousness and constraints of our present times, we are no longer decorative at all! Well, you have been warned. Should you be undeterred, I kindly ask
||
that you write to let me know you are coming a few days in advance. Hoping to see you soon, then!
Yours,
Wimmer
