Description

Buesche tells Lipchitz that as a correspondent of 'Berliner Tageblatt' he wants to know more about artistic events and movements in Paris and asks Lipchitz to speak about himself and his ideas. He also asks for a meeting.

Full text:
'Sir,
As the correspondent from the 'Berliner Tageblatt' for the artistic events in Paris, I would really like to know more about your work. To my regret, I couldn't find enough of it in public exhibitions from the last two years. For my report, I would gladly discuss with you your work and your ideas - I've been interested in both for a long time. If you would like to accept my proposition (I would be thankful) please write to me using this letter. I'm usually free around 4 to 5 pm.
Best wishes,
A.Buesche.'
