Wohlgeboren Herrn Prof. Dr. Heinrich Schenker, Wien

Sehr verehrter, lieber Herr Professor!

Es 1 ist schade, dass Sie durch die Schwierigkeiten die Sir mir machen, den Abschluss der Abmachung vor meiner Abreise verhindern. Ich fahre Samstag den 24. und bleibe einige Wochen aus. Ich bin jetzt zu müde und zu nervös, um unsere Sache in Ruhe zu erledigen. Sobald ich wieder zurück bin, werde ich so frei sein, Sie wieder zu benachrichtigen. –


Mit vielen verbindlichen Grüssen
Ihr in Verehrung ergebener

Revered, dear Professor,

It 1 is a pity that through the difficulties that you are making for me you hinder the finalizing of the letter of agreement before my departure. I depart on Saturday the 24th, and am away for several weeks. I am too tired and too beset by nerves to deal with our business in peace. I will take the liberty of letting you know as soon as I am back. –


With cordial greetings,
Yours truly, in admiration,
