Noch nicht in Wien? Oder? Rb. Hirschfeld hat mir vorgestern einen originellen Antrag gemacht, den ich zu acceptieren in der Lage war. Ob, da es sich um Hd’sches handelt, es dennoch zu etwas kommt, kann ich freilich nicht sagen. Aber sehen wir’s doch? Binnen kürzester Frist soll die Entscheidung fallen u. ich komme daher nach Tisch ins Imperial. Wann soll ich dir den Brief schreiben?

Floriz ,

Are you not yet back in Vienna? Or? The day before yesterday Robert Hirschfeld made me an original proposition, which I was in a position to accept. Since it concerns matters to do with Hd, I honestly can't say whether it will nevertheless come to something. But let's wait and see. The decision should come within the shortest possible space of time, and I will consequently meet you for lunch at the Imperial. When should I write you the letter?
