Very honored Professor, 1

I thank you for your card of the 12th of the month, and have flagged the two advance payments for the luxury edition of the "Moonlight" Sonata on the list of Seidel's Book Dealership. 2 Both copies are therefore to go to Mr. Vrieslander, including the one designated for Mr. Hoboken. However, not by cash on delivery, because this is now hardly possible abroad.


With the best regards to you and your wife, I sign as
Yours truly,
[signed:] Otto Erich Deutsch
