Footnotes

1 Receipt of this letter is not recorded in Schenker’s diary.

2 This is a gentle reminder of the request to visit that Bamberger had made in OC A/287, December 11, 1934. Schenker’s diary for December 31 recorded: “Bamberger teleph. für Freitag bestellt.” (“Bamberger requested, over the telephone, to come on Friday.”). That Friday was January 4, 1935, for which there is no record of a Bamberger visit in the diary. Schenker managed to keep his diary up to January 5; his health then declined steeply, and he died on January 13, 1935.
