Handwritten letter from Schenker to Cotta, dated June 3, 1909
Sehr geehrter Herr !
Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Entscheidung bezüglich der Teilung des Bandes. Ich will, da es ja im Interesse der Arbeit selbst gelegen, Alles aufbieten, um Ihren Winken folge zu leisten. Da ich Anfang nächster Woche den letzten Rest der Fahnen einzusenden hoffen darf, so wären mir neue Fahnen überaus willkommen.
Heute sandte ich Bg. 10 mit Imprimatur retour, Bg. 12 u. weitere Fahnen schloß ich an. Leider ist mir – zum 1ten Mal ist es vorgekommen – Bg. 11 ( Revision ) in beiden Exemplaren in Verlust geraten, was ich umsomehr zu bedauern habe, als ich die Arbeit der Correktur schon fertig hatte. Ich bitte Sie also Ihre Druckerei zu veranlassen, daß ein anderes Exemplar des Bg. 11 mir zugeschickt werde. Nochmals dankend zeichne
Hochachtungsvoll ergeben

Handwritten letter from Schenker to Cotta, dated June 3, 1909
Dear Sir,
Many thanks for your decision regarding the splitting of the volume. Since it precisely accords with the interests of the work itself, I shall do everything within my power to comply with your recommendations. As I am hoping to get the last remaining galley-proofs off [to you] early next week, some new galleys would be extremely welcome.
Today I sent you by return gathering 10 with my imprimatur, [and] I included gathering 12 and further galleys. Unfortunately—the first time this has happened—both copies of gathering 11 (revised proofs) have gone missing, this being all the more regrettable since I had already completed the work of correcting them. Please arrange for your printers to send me another copy of gathering 11. With renewed thanks, I remain
Yours, With kinds regards,
[ sign’d: ] H. Schenker
