My dear Whittemore :

Thanks yours of May the 12th.

I am much interested to know your reaction after seeing the Mihrabs of the Cordoba Mosque, it undoubtedly did impress you.

The Real Academia de la Historia is delighted to hear that you will be coming to Madrid towards the end of November to give your lecture.

Please send me your lecture in English and I can have it translated : three months will give us ample time.

Yours very sincerely,
