Handwritten letter from Schenker to Emil Hertzka (UE), dated Thursday August 27, 1908 [ UE stamp: ] 7147 Dear Director, One more request. I forgot Privy Counsellor Wiener[1] of our Ministry of Education: he, too, should receive a copy, provided that UE does not already direct its latest publications to him in its own right. I will ultimately2 write to the Privy Counsellor myself, and ask you please not to forget him. My very grateful thanks, © Translation Ian D. Bent 2005. |
