I have just received the latest issue of Cäcilia with the review of the third Jahrbuch,10 ahead of Dr. Einstein,11 who has had the essay since March of this year. The one on autographs12 was submitted to Die Musik. In the last Allgemeine Musikzeitung a short one appears on Nottebohm.13 Once again, then, warmest thanks and most respectful greetings,

Yours,

Format: 2-p letter, italic-typed, holograph signature
Sender address: Berlin
Recipient address: --

FOOTNOTES:

1 The letter OJ 5/18, 17, undated by the sender and incorrectly dated by the recipient, would qualify by its content as this letter; but it was necessarily written later than November 27, 1932, the date of OJ 12/6, [17], to which it is clearly a reply. Moreover, it includes no indication of an enclosure. Either incorrect dating is present in one or more letters or the letter referenced here is missing.
