Sehr geehrter Herr Direktor !
Doch soll Sie ^das [ ins. in pencil ], was ich noch nachzuschicken habe,¹ ebensowenig, wie seinerzeit bei op. 109, hindern, schon jetzt Text wie Analyse² in der Druckerei zu geben. Die Nachträge sind ja klein u. nicht die Hauptsache. Dieses teile ich nur mit, um jeglichem Misverständnis vorzubeugen.

Mit bestem Gruß
Ihr erg

Dear Director,
That which I still have to forward to you¹ should certainly not deter you, any more than previously with Op. 109, from handing over to the printers immediately the Text and Analysis.² The appendices are very small, and are not the main thing. I tell you this only so as to forestall any misunderstanding.

With best wishes,
Yours truly,
[ sign'd: ] H. Schenker
