Lieber, geehrter Herr D^r Jonas!

H. v. Hob.¹ kommt Mittwoch, spätestens Donnerstag nach Wien (mit Frau) u. steigt im Cottage-Sanatorium, Wien, XVIII, Sternwartestr. 74 ab. – Es freut mich zu hören, daß es Ihnen in der Gesundheit nun besser geht. –

Hoffentlich hat sich D^r Ftw.² Ihnen gegenüber besser betragen als D^r R. Strauss hier, dessen {recto} Auftreten, vielmehr Nichtauftraten hier, wie ich lese, Befremden erregte. Lassen Sie davon bald etwas hören. Mit besten Grüßen u Wünschen von mir u. meiner Frau.

Dear Dr. Jonas,

Mr. van Hoboken¹ arrives Wednesday, Thursday latest, in Vienna (with his wife) and will be stopping at the Cottage-Sanitorium, Vienna XVIII, Sternwartestrasse 74. —I am pleased to hear that your health is now better.

It is to be hoped that Dr. Furtwängler² has behaved better toward you than Dr. Richard Strauss here, whose {recto} support, or rather nonsupport, has, as I read, caused annoyance. Let me have word about it soon. With best greetings from my wife and me,

Yours,
[ sign'd: ] H. Schenker
