Documents comprising this correspondence:
OJ 6/5, [29] Handwritten letter from Heinrich Schenker to Valerie Violin, dated November 28, 1913
Heinrich and Jeanette have regarded it as their duty to invite Fanny Violin on each occasion that they invited Moriz and Valerie; their conduct is thus blameless; only now have they understood Fanny's true meaning in writing as she did after two years. They wish to place no pressure on her and to help her overcome her illness.
OJ 8/3, [50] Handwritten postcard from Schenker to Valerie Violin, dated November 16, 1917
Schenker requests Moriz's full army address; pressure of work precludes a visit; a parcel has gone astray.
OJ 6/6, [5] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Valerie Violin, dated December 30, 1917
In response to the Violins' condolences on the death of his mother, Schenker reflects sadly on her life and needs between 1890 and the late 1910s, attributing blame largely to his younger brother Moriz, less to his older brother Wilhelm; — He explains why he and Jeanette are unable to visit the Violins in the cold and without adequate clothing.
