Sehr geehrter Herr Direktor !

Anbei retour Fahnen 35–55¹ ! Sie sehen, die Korrektur geht leicht u. einfach vor sich, was Sie daraus am besten entnehmen, daß ich trotz entsetzlicher Belastung u. vom Arzt vorgeschriebene Lebensweise so viel Blätter in so kurzer Zeit erledigen kann.

Mit besten Grüßen

Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka (UE), dated April 29, 1914

Dear Director,

Galley-proofs 35–55¹ returned herewith! You can see proof-reading is going ahead smoothly and straightforwardly, from which you can safely deduce that despite frightful stress and the regimen prescribed by my doctor I can deal with so many pages in so short a time.

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