Vorläufig sei Ihnen nur herzlich gedankt fur Ihre letzten Sendungen.¹ Ich komme auf diese wie auf die vorausgegangenen erst im Sommer zurück, da jetzt sowohl die Pflichten als auch die allgemeine Krisis einst die genügende Muße nicht aufkommen lassen!

Mit bestem Gruß
Ir sehr ergebener

Dear Professor,

For the time being, accept only my cordial thanks for your last mailings.¹ I will get back to them, as well as to the previous ones, only in the summer since obligations as well as the general crisis disallow enough free time at the moment.

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