Honourable Professor! The P.A.L. [Polska Akademia Literatury, Polish Academy of Literature] office was waiting for the president and neglected to send the letter; this is being done only today, as a result of my order. However, we regard the date of the 31st of this month as already set; printed invitations have already been sent. I’m going to bring in first-rank debaters; a scandal like the one in the Lit. Union. will not be repeated. They’ll likely eat you alive!
v Our intellectual, Nałkowska, is particularly pleased. Admittedly, after XXX there’ll be a certain hangover, but this doesn’t really apply to our spheres. So go ahead and do your veni vidi vici [Latin: I came, I saw, I conquered]. We’ll cordially welcome you

With high esteem
v and greetings
v v Karol Irzykowski
