Dear George and Marion,

How very kind of you to take the time off to write me.  Thank you for your good wishes.

Yes, you are right, I am very busy.  However, I did not open a shop in Zürich but have an apartment, this being my home town, and I am running the gallery from there.  I was very lucky to have many good friends helping me after Nat's passing away.  One of them was Dr. Sherman Lee of the Cleveland Museum who came for two days to New York and told me what art objects are of wonderful quality, and these are what I now have in my Zürich gallery.

I would be most happy to have you in Zürich and Bigorio and am looking forward to your visit.

Your new book sounds very intriguing to me.  My very closest Japanese girlfriend is in a very high position at Kodansha.  Her name is Takako Suzuki.  I will be very interested in your book.

With love to the whole family,

Marion
