Lieber verehrter Herr Doktor! 1

Gerne möchte ich Sie im September noch sprechen. Wenn das unter vier Augen geschehen soll, so komme ich zu einer Ihnen genehmen Zeit. Sonst aber würden wir uns freuen, wenn Sie mit Ihrer Frau Gemahlin den im Frühjahr verschobenen Besuch nun bei uns nachholen wollten, auch das an einem Ihnen passenden Nachmittag, womöglich nicht Freitag ⇧ u. Donnerstag .

Dear revered Dr. [Schenker], 1

I would very much like to speak with you in September. If this should be done just between the two of us, then I shall come at a time that is convenient to you. Otherwise, however, we would be delighted if you and your wife could make good the visit we postponed from earlier in the year, and that, too, on an afternoon that suits you, if possible avoiding Friday ⇧ and Thursday .


⇧ With kind greetings,
Your very devoted
