Wohlgeboren Herrn Prof. Dr. Heinrich Schenker
Wien.

Gleichzeitig geht der V. und VI. Druckbogen Ihres Werkes 1 umbrochen an Sie zur Korrektur ab. Vom VII. bis zum XVI. Druckbogen, 2 die bereits anfangs Jänner Ihnen zur I. Korrektur 3 eingesandt wurden, haben wir noch immer die korrigierten Abzüge nicht zurück erhalten und die Druckerei hat daher den Weitersatz vorläufig eingestellt.

Wir bitten Sie höflichst die Korrekturen der oben angegebenen Druckbogen ehestens zu beschleunigen, damit sich die Fertigstellung des Werkes nicht ins Endlose verzögere und zeichnen


hochachtungsvoll

Page-proofs for gatherings 5 and 6 of your book 1 are on their way to you by the same post for correction. We have still not received back from you the corrected proof-sheets of gatherings 7–16, 2 which were sent to you at the beginning of January for first corrections; 3 accordingly, the printers have temporarily suspended all further typesetting.

We ask you very kindly to expedite as soon as possible your correcting of the gatherings listed above, so that production of your book is not endlessly delayed. We remain
