Footnotes1 Receipt of this postcard is not recorded in Schenker's diary. "R/a" in the postmark indicates that this item was sent by pneumatic post ("Rohrpost"). 2 Accordingly, Schenker's lessonbook 1926/27 has no entry for December 3; the surrounding lessons were November 30 and December 7. Hoboken's lessons seem to have begun at 4 p.m. at this period. 3 Van Hoboken wants to point out the accommodation by the customs officials; customs inspections are normally conducted only at the customs office. |
