Since, according to the contract between the Norwegian Aeronautical Association and the State Publishing House in Leningrad, I shall be translating your new book into Russian, I take the liberty here of asking if you would be so kind as to write a short preface to the Russian edition. This preface will be reproduced photographically in the book, as well as translated into Russian. If I were also to be allowed to photograph you for reproduction in the book, I would be deeply grateful.
If you are so gracious as to grant my request, I venture to ask you kindly to fix a time when you can receive me.
Thanking you in advance for your hospitality, I remain
Yours respectfully
