Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka (UE), dated June 16, 1908

Dear Director,

I am now sending the Foreword in manuscript.1 I had to turn my attention to the current very urgent problem in Germany.2 Meanwhile, I leave it to you to instruct the type-setter whether the setting is to be done in smaller or larger type.3

I am up to date as far as 3rd-proof stage.

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