Dear Mr. Waldeck, 1

On account of urgent matters, I am able only today to send you confirmation of receipt of your letter of September 22 2 ‒ somewhat late at that, for which I beg your indulgence. I shall certainly consider your kind offer in the next week.


With kind regards,
[signed:] Dr. Heinrich Schenker
