Sehr geehrter Herr Direktor !

Aus Anlaß einer Pause, die sich ^mir naturgemäß nach der bald bevorstehenden Herausgabe des ersten Halbbandes meines “Kontrapunkts”¹ darbieten wird, erlaube ich mir Sie neuerdings zu ersuchen, auf die Druckerei eine kleine Pression zu üben: vielleicht wird es doch möglich, daß ich noch um die[corr] Mitte dieses Monats wenigstens den ersten Teil der Korrekturen² erhalten.

Mit besten Grüßen
Ihr ergb

Dear Director,

In anticipation that I shall, all being well, have a break following the impending publication of the first half-volume of my Counterpoint,¹ I take the liberty of asking you once again to try to exert a little pressure on the printers. Perhaps it will be possible for me to get hold of at least the first part of the proofs² around the middle of this month.

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