Hochverehrter und Lieber Herr Doctor, 1

Ich bin plötzlich von einem heftigen Rheumatismus befallen und kann den Kopf nicht drehen. Da ich die Erscheinung ausserdem für ein[e] Aeusserung der herrschenden Grippe halte, ziehe ich es vor heute nicht auszugehen und infolgedessen nicht zu Ihnen zu kommen. Hoffentlich ist es am nächsten Dienstag wieder besser.


Mit den besten Grüssen,
Ihr ergebener

Highly revered and dear Dr. [Schenker], 1

I have suddenly come down with a bad case of rheumatism and cannot turn my head. Since I regard the condition moreover as a manifestation of the influenza that is going around, I prefer not to go out today and thus not to come to you. Let us hope it will again be better next Tuesday.


With best greetings,
Your devoted
