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
