⇧ Greatly revered Professor [Schenker], 1

Since I do not know whether you are in Vienna or in fact in Horn, 2 please let me know when you are coming home and when I can speak with you. I hope you have had a good vacation and enjoyed as beautiful weather as we did. I will have a great deal to tell you, and not only about the trip. 3 In the meantime best regards to you and your esteemed wife.
