⇧ Lieber Herr Doctor!

In Prag fand ich keine Zeit Ihnen zu sagen, daß ich in Frankfurt angefragt habe – Sie wissen die Stelle von [?Euerberg] war frei 1 – reflectiren Sie noch auf dergleichen. Gegen 9 Dec. hoffe ich in Wien zu sein.

⇧ Dear Dr. [Schenker],

In Prague I did not have time to say that I had inquired in Frankfurt – you know that the position of [?Euerberg] was vacant. 1 Are you still interested in that kind of thing? I hope to be in Vienna around December 9.


Cordial greetings,
Your
