Summary

Dankt für die schöne Ausgabe von Frederic Prokoschs ›The Skies of Europe‹. Hatte schon immer eine Vorliebe für das Talent dieses jungen Autors und ist erfreut über die Widmung. »›The Skies of Europe‹ presents an extremely descriptive picture of the various European countries immediately before the outbreak of this war. The atmosphere in those countries has been made intensely perceptible with thriftily employed artistic mean. I was particularly moved by the chapters dealing with Germany and Munich, and I should well like to know whether they are based upon real experiences.« Hatte nämlich gehört, dass der Autor des Buches über Asien nie auf diesem Kontinent gewesen sei.
