Sehr geehrter Herr ! Es fällt mir auf, daß vielleicht seit 1–2 Wochen nichts aus Ihrer Druckerei an mich gekommen ist; ich frage daher, ohne Absicht des Urgierens oder dgl., an, ob nicht irgend eine Sendung in Verlust geraten¹ wäre. Ich frage also[?] nur aus Vorsicht. — Ist Ihnen inzwischen auch die angenehme Besprechung meines Bd. I in Dr. Frimmels ‚_Beethoven_-Jahrbuch’ II bei G. Müller i[n] München (S.338)² bekannt geworden?

Hochachtungsvoll ergeben

Dear Sir, It occurs to me that nothing has reached me from your printers for some one or two weeks now. I am inquiring therefore—without intending to apply pressure or the like—whether a consignment might have gone astray.¹ I am asking only out of prudence. — One other thing: have you in the meanwhile become acquainted with the pleasing review of my vol. I in Dr. Frimmel’s Beethoven-Jahrbuch, vol. 2, published by G. Müller in Munich (p.338)²?
