E.H. [personally]
Mr Roald Amundsen,
Oslo.
Referring politely to the correspondence I have had with you, I ask you to kindly let me know when and where I may honor you with my visit for the purpose of a personal discussion. This discussion is of the greatest importance to me insofar as I could make any changes that a North Pole flight requires and demands of a flying machine.
I beg you once again, very sincerely, to let me know the date of an interview and I salute you with the utmost respect.
