He would very much like to make some sketches for his weavings. He asks her to tell him the format, and especially the width it can reach. He has just prepared with Heckel the poster for the new exhibition....
"Ich hätte gern ein paar Entwürfe für Ihre Webereien gemacht. Wollen Sie mir bitte das Format angeben. Besonders wie breit die Sachen werden können. Ich habe jetzt mit Heckel zusammen das Plakat für die neue Kunstausstellung gemacht"...
