G. M.!

I am enclosing what was received today.[^1] You mentioned to me, if I recall correctly, that Steinmetz is a world figure. Before your communication, I had not even heard the name.

Should I answer him courteously? Should I not point out to him something practical in my reply? For he is offering assistance. Ought I not, in view of this, indicate to him concrete forms of assistance?

[^1]: This refers to 3 April. *Ed.*
