⇧ Dear friend,

We can also take a coach in Korneuburg, where we shall eat. 2 As best I can remember, the train departs from the Northwest Railway Station at 10:20. Moreover, I should still like to discuss all of this with you. I shall be at the Café Imperial today and Saturday, between 7 and 8 o’clock.


Cordial greetings,
