[gedruckter Briefkopf]

Dear Erika,

Terribly sorry to miss you the other week end. I had no idea you were in town. Any chance of seeing you next week-end. When do you leave for Europe.

I hear you’ve had an awful time [over?] Toller. I was horrified to hear about it. I’ve written a poem in his memory, which I hope the New Yorker will print.

I feel we have seen much too little of each other in these last three months, but, believe me, my dear, I cannot say how much I like and admire you, and you know, I hope, that whenever or if even I can help you in any way, you must ask me.

Dont do too much and dont – here uncle is speaking, or the cheeky young brother

dont hate too much.

Much love

Wystan
