October 28, 1911.

Ernst Osthaus,
Josef Hoffmann told me that you would like to show an exhibition of my pictures at the Folkwang Museum; that, of course, would make me very happy! – I would just like to know “when” approximately so that I can prepare myself like never before. Of course, I want to send the most select pictures. ? Greetings!
