Lieber Herr Professor! 1

Mein Mann hat durch die verfrühte Rückkehr des Herrn v. H., der ja schon Montag wieder in Wien ist, noch so viel zu tun, dass er jetzt unmöglich zu einem längeren Brief an Sie kommt. Er wird aber sicher in der nächsten Woche von sich hören lassen, und begrüsst Sie und Ihre liebe Frau Gemahlin inzwischen mit mir auf das Beste.

⇧ Vienna, February 5, 1932

Dear Professor, 1

As a result of the early return of Mr. Hoboken, who has in fact been in Vienna since Monday, my husband has had so much to do that he will not get around to writing a long letter to you now. You will certainly hear from him next week; and, with me, he sends his best wishes in the meantime to you and your dear wife.
