Dear Director,

Many thanks first of all for the second payment of 100 Kroner.¹

In the interests of the new contract,² I will take the liberty of appearing at your office on Thursday at 10 a.m.,³ since cancelation by a lady student who would normally attend at 11 a.m. makes the visit possible.

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