[printed:] ⇧ Postkarte [top-left, picture captioned: Melk, Niederösterr.] [An:] ⇧ Frau Dr. Heinrich Schenker, Wien III. Keilgasse 8. [postmark:] || [illeg] | 28.IX [illeg] | [illeg] * || {verso} Liebe Frau Lie-Lie! 1 Ich habe Ihre Karte 2 erst am 27. bei unserer Ankunft vorgefunden, daher die verspätete Antwort. 3 Alle Platten, wie bei Tisch-Kredenz u. Bank hat mir mein Tischler mit einem guten Linoleum belegt, das etwas vertieft eingeklebt ist. Ich finde, daß es ganz praktisch ist. Hoffentlich haben Sie sich beide über den Sommer sehr gut erholt. Wir haben Aussee heuer sehr genossen. Die allerherzlichsten Grüsse an Sie u. Herrn Doktor von uns beiden. Ihre [signed:] Hertha Weisse 28. 9. 28. © Transcription William Drabkin, 2013 |

I find that this is very practical. I hope that you were very well refreshed over the summer; we enjoyed Bad Aussee greatly this year. Most cordial greetings to your and the Doctor from the two of us. Yours, [signed:] Hertha Weisse September 28, 1928 © Translation William Drabkin, 2013 |
