September 12, 1955
Mr. Irwin Miller
301 Washington Street
Columbus, Indiana
Dear Irwin:
Confirming our telephone conversation this morning, I plan to arrive at Indianapolis at 4:40 P.M. Thursday, October 20 and stay with you all Friday, leaving Indianapolis at 4:50 P.M. Saturday, October 21 for New York.
I plan to be in New York two weeks, until approximately November 4[sup]th[/sup].
I shall be working on your problems during part of my time there, in particular the upholsterer-curtain maker, on which I already have leads.
Should you both be expecting to be in New York at the same time, I would, of course, save time there for you.
Enclosed is a copy of my final order to Herman Miller for the various Eames chairs.
Will expect to bring all samples of overs with me when I come.
It is probable that Susan will be coming to New York with me, so we shall both look forward to seeing you again.
Best,
Sandro
