Vienna Sanatorium [postmark:] || 3/3 VIENNA 19 | [illeg].XI.1 | * 3a * || {verso} Dear Floriz, 1 Many thanks for your short letter. 2 We will come on Wednesday [October 11], leaving immediately after the afternoon snack (Kaff from Brno is coming at 2.30); sadly we can't get away before then, because today: Elias 4.30‒5.30, tomorrow: Weisse and Brünauer from 4.30 on. Everything else when we meet! Vrieslander is coming on about the 20th of the month, as he wrote to me today. So it goes. 3 On your situation itself, better when we meet: I shall bring a remarkable document for you to see, one that is bound to make you weep forthwith ‒ I repeat: forthwith! Best wishes from Lie-liechen, who today has a mountain of material to write up. ⇧ October 9, 1911 © Translation Ian Bent, 2019 |
