Lieber Prof. v. Cube!

Weisse|¹ hat das „Zentralinstitut für Erziehung u. Unterricht“, Berlin W 35, Potsdamerstr. 120 beauftragt, Sie einzuladen. Vielleicht ist es schon geschehen. Wo nicht, so gehen Sie einfach nach Berlin; erster Vortrag ^{im Institut} am 9., zweiter am 10. Weisse wird sich sehr freuen, Hoboken,² Oppel,³ Violin|⁴ gewiß auch. Wünsche beste Erfolge!

Von uns Beiden beste Grüße
Ihr

Dear Professor von Cube,

Weisse¹ has asked instructed the Central Institute for Education and Teaching (Berlin W 35, Potsdamerstraße 120) to invite you. Perhaps this has already been done. If not, then simply go to Berlin; the first lecture will be on the 9th, the second on the 10th. Weisse will be greatly pleased; so, I am sure, will Hoboken,² Oppel³ and Violin.⁴ I wish [you all] the greatest success!

Best greetings from the two of us,
Yours,
[ sign’d: ] H. Schenker
