Sehr geehrter Herr Direktor!

Wäre es nicht möglich, daß ich mindestens einen Teil der Korrekturen¹ über die Weihnachtsferien nach Haus kriegen könnte ? Ich möchte gern vermeiden, daß im Jänner, Februar gar zu viel zusammenstößt.

Mit ausgezeichneter Hochachtung
Ir ergebener

Dear Director,

Might it not be possible for me to get least a portion of the proofs¹ at home over the Christmas holidays? I should very much like to avoid having too many things crowding into January and February.

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