Sehr geehter Herr Direktor!
Seit einigen Tagen höre ichs, daß z.B. H. Prof. Godovsky, R. Robert, u. Andere, meine Arbeit über die “Chromatische Fantasie” eingesehen haben. Wenn schon Abzüge existieren, warum werden Sie mir vorenthalten? Wollen Sie die Freundlichkeit haben, mir mit paar Worten den Sachverhalt zu erklären.
Mit ausgezeichneter Hochachtung
Ir ergebener

Dear Director,
A few days ago I heard that, e.g., Prof. Godovsky, R. Robert, and other have examined my work on the Chromatic Fantasy [& Fugue]. If proofs already exist, why are they being withheld from me? Please will you be so kind as to drop me a line explaining the matter to me.
With kind regards,
Yours truly,
[ sign’d: ] H. Schenker
