Geehrter, lieber Herr Dr Jonas ! 1

Prof. Dr. W. Altmann , Berlin-Friedenau Lauterstr. 38II dankt für Ihr Buch in aufmerksamer Weise auch mir u. bittet mich bei dieser Gelegenheit, Sie zu veranlassen, daß Sie ihm für das soeben neuaufzulegende Tonkünstler-Lexikon Notizen über sich einsenden.

Hoffentlich haben Sie v.H. gut bestanden, ich hatte das Paar bei mir 3¼ Stunden u. habe darüber eine schlechte Nacht erlitten. Na, Achtung!


Beste Grüße von uns Beiden
Ihr

Revered, dear Dr. Jonas, 1

Prof. Dr. W. Altmann, Berlin-Friedenau, Lauterstrasse 38II thoughtfully thanks me as well for your book, and requests me on this occasion to have you send him notes about yourself for the Tonkünstler-Lexikon to be republished shortly.

I hope you survived Hoboken well; I had the two of them with me 3¼ hours and suffered a bad night because of it. Well, watch out!


Best greetings from us both,
Your
