Dear Pepi,
How are you? Did you avoid the Asiatic or indigenous flu? I hope so.
I’ve just got back from my first interview with Dr Loeb – a very kind man who has already taken up my case wants to start work on it immediately. (I’ve already signed the power of attorney).
There is very little to report from my early years, so he would like to draw on your expertise, that is, yours and Kokoschka’s. I’m enclosing the outline here.
In the last few weeks I’ve tried to write some more about art and beauty. I shall send it to you when it’s finished.
The exhibition at the Ben Uri ends on Sunday.
Many thanks for Dr Loeb and all your efforts.
In haste, sincerely,
Erich
(He doesn’t want any advance from me).
