Sehr geehrter Herr Doktor!¹

Leider erinnerte ich mich zu spät, daß im Brief Vrieslanders die Adresse des Prof. Dunn² angegeben ist, dem ich heute schreiben wollte. Würden Sie bitte die Freundlichkeit haben, mir den Brief aus diesem Grunde einzusenden und die Belästigung entschuldigen zu wollen.

Mit bestem dank
Ihr ergebenster

Dear Doctor,¹

Unfortunately I remembered too late that Vrieslander’s letter provides the address of Prof. Dunn,² to whom I wanted to write today. Would you please be so kind as to send me the letter for this reason, and excuse the inconvenience.

With many thanks,
Your most devoted
[ sign’d: ] Dr Oswald Jonas
