COMMENTARY:
Format: postcard, addresses on recto, message and signature on verso.
Sender address: Vienna III, Reisnerstraße 38
Recipient address: Vienna I, Wipplingerstraße 32

FOOTNOTES:

1 Apparently at his presumed meeting with H on the morning of November 27 (OC 52/29 and WSLB 26, November 23 and 24) S undertook to write some additional remarks for the "large edn" of Niloff: Instrumentations-Tabelle just about to go to press. This material will expand considerably before submission, and lead to difficulties: see WSLB 29 and 30 and OC 52/399-401, December 16 and 18.

SUMMARY:
[Niloff: Instrumentations-Tabelle?:] Will send observations in a few days.
