Sehr g[ee]hrter Herr Direktor!

H. Dr. Ludwig Karpath¹ vom N. W. Tagbl. (IV. Frankenberggasse) ersucht durch mich um die II Aufl. der Ornamentik. Zwar hatte er erst vor kurzem, vor wenigen Monaten, die Orn. im N.W. Tagbl. besprochen, hat aber neuerdings dringenden Anlaß, ich glaube die Besprechung der Briefe Bülow's² in die II Aufl. einzusehen, u. diese bei dieser Gelegenheit wieder zu citieren. Wollen Sie die Freundlichkeit haben, ihm, der eben[?] am Feuilleuton arbeitet, so rasch als möglich, das Büchlein zukommen zu lassen? Mit bestem Dank in seinem, wie eigenen Namen.

Mit ausgez. Hochachtung Ihr ergb

Handwritten postcard from Schenker to Emil Hertzka (UE), dated and postmarked September 16, 1908

Dear Director,

Dr. Ludwig Karpath¹ of the Neues Wiener Tagblatt (IV, Frankenberggasse) is requesting, through me, the second edition of Ornamentik. He has in fact reviewed Ornamentik in the Neues Wiener Tagblatt not long—a few months—ago; but now has urgent need—I believe the review of the letters of Bülow²—to inspect the second edition and to cite the latter again on this occasion. Please would you very kindly have the booklet sent to him as quickly as possible —he actually[?] works on the "Feuilleton"? With many thanks on his part as well as mine.

With kind regards,
Yours truly,
[ sign’d: ] H. Schenker
