Sehr geehrter Herr Professor!

Ihre frdl. Zustimmung, die ich heute erhielt,¹ war mir schon genügende Grundlage, um den geigneten Schritt zu unternehmen. Nach Aussage des Bankleiters, die ich gleich einholte, besteht Aussicht auf Einwilligung seitens der deu[ts]chen Zentrale². So viel in Eile.

Mit bestem Gruß

Dear Professor,

Your friendly agreement, which I received today,¹ was sufficient basis for me to undertake the appropriate action. According to the statement of the bank director, which I immediately secured, there is a chance for consent|² from the German central agency. This much in haste.

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