S[ehr] geehrter Herr Direktor! In der Heimreise begriffen, ersuche ich Sie die Exemplare doch lieber nach Wien, (^unter meiner Wohnungsadresse) schicken zu wollen u. vorsichtshalber nicht vor einer Woche.¹ — Für Ihre Nachricht betreffs N. Isttb.² besten Dank. Wenn's nicht anders möglich, ist schließlich auch October uns immerhin ein Datum. Oder sollte bis Weihnacht damit gewartet werden?

Die anderen Adressen von Wien aus³. Ihr ergeb.

Dear Director, On the brink of returning home, I would definitely prefer you to send the copies to Vienna (^to my home address), and as a precaution no earlier than a week’s time.¹ — Many thanks for the information about the Niloff Table of Instrumentation. If that’s the best that can be done, then October is still a viable [publication] date. Or would it be better to hold it until Christmas?

I will send the other addresses from Vienna.³ Yours truly,

[ sign'd: ] H. Schenker
