Sehr veehrter Herr Doktor!

Da ich annehme, daß Sie wegen des Wetters wahrscheinlich nicht solange in Salzburg² bleiben werden, schreibe ich Ihnen schon heute. Ich bleibe nämlich bis ca 12.d.[M.] in Wien und wäre Ihnen sehr dankbar, wenn ich Sie noch besuchen dürften. Ich hoffe, daß Sie sich recht gut erholt haben. Von Hob.,³ dem ich zweimal geschrieben habe, auch um verschiedene Auskünfte bezüglich seines Vorhabens geboten habe, ist bis heute keine Zeile gekommen! Hat er Angst, daß er sich festlegen könnte? Na ja! – Ich bin noch unter XIX Trummelhofgasse 4 erreichbar! Alles Güte Ihnen und Ihrer lieben Frau Gemahlin

Ihr ergebenster

Dear Doctor,

Since I assume that because of the weather you probably will not stay so long in Salzburg,² I am writing you already today. I will be in Vienna until about the 12th, and would be grateful if I might visit you. I hope that you had a very good vacation. From Hoboken,³ whom I have written twice, also requesting information about his plans, I have not received a line as of today! Is he afraid that he might commit himself? Well fine!—I can still be reached at XIX Trummelhofgasse 4! All good wishes to you and your dear wife.

Yours most respectfully,
[ sign’d: ] Oswald Jonas
