Footnotes

1 Receipt of this postcard is recorded at OJ 4/7, p. 3945, September 17: "Von Salzer (K. expreß): Mißverständnis, kann Dienstag nicht kommen (ist für Donnerstag bestellt)." ("From Salzer (express postcard): misunderstanding; cannot come on Tuesday (is scheduled for Thursday)."). The "R" in the postmarks indicates that the postcard was sent by pneumatic post (Rohrpost).

2 Salzer’s telephone number, entered in Heinrich Schenker’s hand, as given in his postcard of September 15, 1934 (OC 44/37).

3 = OC 44/37, September 15, 1934.

4 Salzer must not yet have received Schenker’s postcard of September 16 (FS 40/1, [27]), telling him that a visit was not possible on either Tuesday or Wednesday (September 18–19). The date for Salzer’s visit was most likely set by telephone.
