How would it be if you wished to involve the great R. 3 in the founding of the consecrated Lyceum? With a donation, of course? For now, © Translation William Drabkin, 2022 |

Footnotes1 This postcard has been delivered to Reisnerstraße and then re-addressed, probably by the concierge or maid, to Payerbach. 2 Probably Schenker’s early patron Ludwig Bösendorfer, to judge from nine dots Seligmann placed between the letters B and r; both he and his “normal path” are mentioned in Seligmann’s follow-up letter, OJ 14/23, [7], late summer or early autumn 1903. 3 Baron Alphons von Rothschild, mentioned in OJ 14/23, [7] in connection with the founding of a Lyceum in Vienna. |
