Dear Evans,

 

Sorry we could not manage to meet recently.

     

I just had a letter from A.C. He encloses a note which I will copy literally:—

 

Averse [sic]:—

     

"Epitaph on a man who died in the flat next door

 

A party called Malachy Frank

Was respected by ev-e-ry Bank

Why must we assume

Men will put on his tomb

"He lived—and he died—and he stank?"

 

Reverse:—

     

Montgomery Evans will like this. Please send him a copy, and my curse for not having written. Tell him it's 10 Hanover Square (London. W.1. England).

 

With my best wishes,

 

Sincerely yours

 

Karl Germer
