Dear Ernst Osthaus,
It would be kind of you if you could make sure that the amount for the two drawings you have chosen has already been sent, I would of course need it, so far I have received nothing. Please keep the sheets with you, I have already learned that my pictures will be in the museum in April. Best regards!
