Geehrter, lieber Herr D^r Jonas!

Danke für Brief¹ u. Aufsatz. Auch v H.² kommt am 16. Da Sie vermutlich zu allen Konzerten gehen, müssen wir uns versagen, Sie zum Tee zu bitten, oder ginge es vielleicht? Sicherheitshalber schlage ich vor, an einem beliebigen Vormittag 11^h mir das Vergnügen zu machen. Wir können dann möglicherweise einen anderen Tag, eine andere Stunde festsetzen.

Auf Wiedersehen! Mit besten Grüßen von uns Beiden.

Ihr

Dear Dr. Jonas,

Thanks for letter¹ and essay. Hoboken² too comes on the 16th. Since you presumably attend all concerts, we must forego inviting you to tea—or would it be possible? To be on the safe side, I suggest that you grant me the pleasure any morning you wish at 11:00. We can then possibly settle on a different day, a different time.

Till later! With best greetings from both of us.

Yours,
[ sign’d: ] H. Schenker
