Through an unpleasant incident, Lie-lie has let her lovely room at Reisnerstraße 27 go. 2 As a consequence, however, she has already taken another room, in the Jaquingasse I, 1st floor, apt 8, 3 that is very attractive and meets all her requirements. If a letter has reached you, please forward it to me express, since it may perhaps contain very important information!! {recto} [message in Jenny Kornfeld's hand indecipherable] © Translation Ian Bent, 2019 |

Footnotes1 Probably a letter to Jenny Kornfeld concerning her taxes. Presumably the tax authorities in Leitmeritz had temporarily been given Violin's address (rather than Schenker's, which might have been incriminating) in view of the uncertainty of her own situation as described below. 2 Reisnerstraße 27, built in 1829; in 1905 it was a two-storey building with eleven apartments owned by Franz Klöpfer. 3 Jaquingasse 1, built in 1874; in 1905 it was a three-storey building with twenty apartments owned by Josef Steiner. |
