Mr. Eugene Eppinger
Herman Miller Show Room
305 East 63rd Street
New York, New York

Dear Gene:
Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Miller expect to be in New York on Saturday, December 3, and would like very much to visit the show room in the morning, from approximately 10:00 to 11:00 o'olock.
They are very much interested in looking at the following
pieces:
Desk for Guest Room: Herman Miller-George Nelson, No. 5494 or No. 5496.
Table for Kitchen: Herman Miller-George Nelson, 9e. 6560 or No. 5590.
Possible Side Tables: Herman Miller-George Nelson, Nos. 5152, 5153, 5452, 5451, or 5512.

Since I will not be able to be there, would it be possible for you to arrange to have someone there at that time?
Either way, please leave a written message for them at the St. Regis Hotel, which they will receive on arrival.

Very many thanks.
Sandro
