⇧ Geehrter, lieber Herr Dr. Jonas ! 1

Darf ich Sie um die Adresse von Prof. Landshoff bitten? Er läßt mir durch Peters seine „Urt[ext]-A[usgabe]“ der S. Bach -Inv. 2 zukommen, ich aber kenne seine Adresse nicht. Entschuldigen Sie die Störung. Besten Dank! Sind Sie schon mit Hob. wie der eins?

⇧ Revered dear Dr. Jonas, 1

May I ask you for the address of Prof. Landshoff? He had his Urtext edition of the J. S. Bach Inventions 2 sent me by Peters, but I do not know his address. Please excuse the inconvenience. Many thanks! Are you and Hoboken again seeing eye to eye?


Best greetings,
