Geehrter, lieber Herr D^r. Jonas!¹

Darf ich Sie um die Adresse von Prof. Landshoff|² bitten? Er laß mir durch Peters seine “Urt.-A.”³ der S. Bach-Inv.⁴ zukommen, ich aber kenne seine Adresse nicht. Entschuldigen Sie die Störung. Besten Dank! Sind Sie schon mit Hob.⁵ wieder eins?

Beste Grüße
Ihr

Best greetings,
Yours,
