Dear Frau Professor,

I am pleased to be able to send you, enclosed, the newspaper clipping with the words of remembrance by Prof. Violin.¹

The publisher’s number of the Short and {verso} Easy Keyboard Pieces by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (elucidatory edition by Otto Vrieslander) is 5395.²

Mrs. Rothberger³ will have already told you today about the very beautiful cantata performance under Bamberger’s direction.⁴ I couldn’t help thinking all the time of the dear professor and the joy that he would have had over it!

Many thanks once again for all the beautiful things that you showed me yesterday and sincere greetings from

Your
[ sign’d: ] Angi Elias
