Handwritten letter from Schenker to Cotta, dated January 4, 1909
Sehr geehrter Herr !
Ich habe es so kommen gesehen, konnte aber wegen einer vis major, der Erkrankung meiner Mutter, nichts dagegen machen. In 3–4 Tagen erhalten Sie aber ein stattliches Packet Fahnen zurück.
Mit ausgez. Hochachtung
Ergeb.

Handwritten letter from Schenker to Cotta, dated January 4, 1909
Dear Sir,
I saw it coming, but matters beyond my control—namely illness on the part of my mother—prevented my doing anything about it. You will have a handsome package of galley-proofs back in 3–4 days’ time.
With kind regards,
Yours truly,
[ sign’d: ] H. Schenker
