Sehr geehrter Herr Director!

Ich bringe morgen weitere Blätter¹ mit, so gegen 5h. Es ist, wie Sie sehen werden, eine wirklich starke Arbeit, die viel, viel Zeit braucht, aber auch eine gut verbesserte u. vermehrte Auflage bringt.

Mit ausgez[eichneter] Hochachtung
Ihr
H Schenker

Dear Director,

I shall bring further pages¹with me tomorrow at about 5 pm. As you will see, it is really hard work that takes a huge amount of time, but at the same time it will make for a much improved and enlarged edition.

With kind regards,
Yours,
H. Schenker
