COMMENTARY:
Format: calling card; Weinberger name and address printed on recto; message holograph verso and recto

FOOTNOTES:

¹ Roman = printed; Italic = handwritten. We cannot be sure that this was addressed to Schenker, and nothing within the body of the message offers supporting evidence; however, the fact that it occurs within Schenker's file of correspondence suggests it.

² Founded 1897 by Weinberger; inaugural meeting Dec 5, 1897.
