Dear Mrs Seiberling,
As you have graciously expressed a wish for a photo of mine, it gives me great pleasure to send you the enclosed, hoping you like it.
I am delighted to have had the good fortune to meet you and to spend such a pleasant time in your beautiful home and I do hope it will be possible for an appearance of mine to be arranged at Akron next season, so as to have the chance of meeting you again.
Please remember me most kindly to Mr. Seiberling and to your charming daughter-in-law.
With kindest greetings
Yours sincerely
Wilhelm BachausTranscriber
