Dear Sir, 



Some time ago you had several books bound by nie and at that 

 tirae you mentioned that you hava a number of books at home which needed 

 repair and that I should select some of them. This matter alaost slipped 

 my mind and I ask you to forgive me for his. N w/take the liberty to 

 ask you whether you wish to have the books repaired and if so, to 

 send me a postal card and I then shall come to your house at the time 

 you designate. 



Respectfully yours, 

 Chr. Haeckel
