Lieber Verehrter! 1

Obzwar ich Ihnen noch manches zu schreiben habe, möchte ich heute nur mein Versprechen wegen des Ofens einlösen. Es ist verspätet, weil mich ein befreundeter Architekt hängen liess. Nun rät er, Swoboda oder an die Gemeinde Wien wenden sollen, die Ihnen Oefen zeigen, in aller Art, Sie betraten, auch einen Heizungsfachmann in die Wohnung schicken.

Schönstens empfohlen
Ihr sehr ergebener

⇧ Vienna, May 31, 1932

Lieber Verehrter! 1

Although I still have much to write to you about, today I should only like to fulfill my promise about the stove. It has been delayed because an architect with whom I am on friendly terms kept me waiting. He now advises me to approach Swoboda or the municipality of Vienna, who will show you ovens of all types, advise you, and also send a heating engineer to your apartment.

Swoboda: Vienna XVIII, Theresienstraße 1
Vienna: Vienna VIII. Josefstädterstraße 10–12


With best regards,
Your very devoted
