Honored Professor,

I will, as you ask,¹ have someone poke around in our archive, which is unfortunately heavily barricaded at the moment, in search of the score of the Handel organ concerto, and if it comes to light I will of course gladly put it at your disposal.

I hope to be able to give you an answer in a few days ^{as early as tomorrow}, and meanwhile remain with best wishes,

Yours very truly,
[ sign’d: ] Emil Hertzka [?]
