[ Typed: ] Die Ornamentik muss morgen zum Neudruck gehen, da dringende Bestellungen vorliegen, die nicht hinausgeschoben werden dürfen. Hoffentlich haben Sie die Freundlichkeit mir bis morgen Ihre Zusätze übermitteln zu lassen, da ich sonst die alte Auflage unverändert abdrucken lassen muss.¹

[ Handwritten: ] Dear Professor,

[ Typed: ] The new edition of Ornamentik must go into production tomorrow, since there are urgent orders in hand which ought not to be deferred. I hope you can very kindly let me have your additions by tomorrow, since otherwise I shall have to reprint the old edition unchanged.¹

With kind regards,
Respectfully yours,
Vienna, April 6, 1908
