OJ 10/3, [154] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated October 8, 1931
Deutsch has been in touch with Robert Haas about a civic honor being conferred
upon Hoboken in the hopes of keeping him, the Photogram Archive, and his personal library in
Vienna. He asks if Schenker might request a letter from Furtwängler recommending this
action, and be able to get Julius Korngold to write something about the importance of
Hoboken’s collections.

OJ 10/3, [156] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated October 13, 1931
Deutsch reports that Hoboken is probably going to keep his personal library in
Vienna. He is not optimistic that “V” [Moriz Violin] will be accorded the title of
Professor, which can be conferred only by the Vienna Academy and not to people living [i.e.
working] outside it.

OJ 10/3, [159] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated October 23, 1931
Deutsch enumerates three points arising from his meeting the previous day
(October 22, 1931) with Robert Haas and Wilhelm Weckbecker: that the minister (for
education) should be approached regarding the conferral of a civic honor upon Anthony
Hoboken by the Austrian state; that Hoboken’s character and reputation should in the
meantime be “cleaned up,” by appealing to the Vienna police authorities; that Hoboken should
invite – separately – Weckbecker and Ludwig Karpath to his home to examine his personal
library. He asks Schenker to get in touch with Karpath about this, but to do so tactfully
and with reference to these three points.

Deutsch would like to arrange a meeting with Kurt Thomasberger and Anthony van

a future without Hoboken’s support and, consequently, about his future worth as a scholar;
he is contemplating moving to the southern part of Europe, possibly the Balearic
Islands.

Deutsch has decided not to give his planned course at the Vienna Academy,
citing Hoboken’s insistence that his collection of first editions is off-limits and the fact
that remuneration will not be great. -- He will be in Salzburg in the second half of August;
Hoboken will probably return to Vienna in mid-September, without visiting Salzburg this
year.
