Sehr geehrter Herr D^r Jonas!

Wenn ich nicht irre, vergaß ich Sie eigens zu bitten, mir den Aufsatz¹ zukommen zu lassen, falls er hier oder dort zum Abdruck gelangt.

Mit bestem Gruß
Ihr

Hat mich kürzlich Hofrath Marx|² namenlos (” ”) angeführt, gleich drauf Reitler|³ (ohne ” ”), so gestern wieder J.K.|⁴ mit ” ”. Es wird immer lustiger, die Herrschaften schämen sich . . . .

Dear Dr. Jonas,

If I am not mistaken, I forgot to ask you particularly to have the essay¹ sent me in case it gets reprinted here or there.

With best greetings,
Yours,
[ sign’d: ] H. Schenker

Hofrat Marx² recently cited me namelessly (” ”) and immediately afterward Reitler³ (without ” ”), then yesterday again J.K.⁴ with ” ”. It gets funnier all the time, the gentlemen shame themselves . . . .
