„Ostern“ordnung! 1 Die Partituren u. Bücher müssen ins Archiv zurück. Es sind ihrer so viele, daß wir wohl beide die „Dienstmänner“ werden abgeben müssen. Am besten: du holst mich an einem näher von dir selbst zu bestimmenden Vormittag ab, wir teilen das Gepäck u. liefern es ab. Oder wünschest du es anders?

Easter tidy-up! 1 The scores and books must go back to the Archive. There are so many of them that we will surely both have to serve as the porters. Best would be: You call for me on a morning more suitable to you; we share the baggage and deliver it. Or would you rather do it some other way?
