Thursday 
	[May 9, 1940]
Dear Miss Dukas,
I thank you for the spectacles and calcium. The former arrived in good shape. The dinner yesterday went well. Samuel delivered a very good speech, in my view, and I hope that something has been achieved. I enclose a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Mann, curious to know how you will find out their address. 
I convey cordial thanks to Margot for her report. It’s today that the “sage-hommes” are coming to see her. But I have more hope for the benefit of rest.
Hauser will also come on Monday to play quartets. Then on to Washington—unfortunately. But that, too, will pass.
Warm regards to all three of you from your
	Albert.
Give the 2 letters and mine to Mr. Bergmann. I view his future with misgivings. He only thinks of himself and not that he should also be accomplishing something for others. I see in him the corruptive influence of political indoctrination.
