OJ 14/10, [21] Handwritten letter with envelope from Rosa Weil to Jeanette Schenker, dated May 27,
1935
Rosa Weill admits to suffering bouts of mild depression. She regrets being
unable to visit Jeanette because committed to taking Arnold away for health reasons. — She
asks whether Jeanette had yet made any decisions [on her own future]. Jeanette has evidently
told her of the mass of Heinrich’s papers that she will dedicate herself to [organizing and
preserving]. — Hedda and Hans [Delmonte] have been staying; he is building a fish canning
factory there. — Hella has forwarded a letter from Victor with photographs: he “shuts us
out” more and more.

In this first of two surviving letters written after Schenker’s death in

Composition.

OJ 15/16, [99] Handwritten letter from Hans Weisse to Jeanette Schenker, dated July 14,
1935
Weisse thanks Jeanette Schenker for her letter and copy of Der freie Satz
which he has read through and is about to study carefully. His initial impressions are that
its conception and content are impressive, but that there are a lot of misprints; and he
regrets that the foreword does not mention the financial help Schenker received from [Paul]
Khuner. He approves Jeanette's idea of depositing Schenker's Nachlass in the
Photogramm-Archiv in the Austrian National Library.

OJ 14/10, [34] Handwritten letter with envelope from Rosa Weil to Jeanette Schenker, dated April 2,
1938
{Rosa Weil replies to a letter from Jeanette in Italy, the content of which
cannot be fully understood but must have reflected the German annexation of Austria on March
11–13, and ensuing attacks on Jewish persons.] Rosa (in Czechoslovakia) says only “events of
recent times have gripped us.” — Rosa and Arnold have just spent three weeks in Hofgastein
taking the cure. She asks Jeanette how long she will stay in Italy and whether she has quit
her Vienna apartment and possessions. — Paul Schiff has financial problems. — Hella’s
condition is unchanged and her husband has formed another relationship. — Rosa challenges
Jeanette’s low opinion of Emma Schiff (Winternitz). — Lene’s husband has been ill. — Hans
and Hedl Delmonte have moved to Lisbon.
