CA 105 - Handwritten postcard from Schenker to Cotta, dated October 27, 1909

⇧ Sehr geehrter Herr!

Soeben sind irrtümlicherweise an mich gelangt die Korrekturen von Held, „Das Arbeitsverhältnis im Nürnberger Handwerk“ Bg. 6, die ich selbstverständlich heute zur Post an Sie retourniere. Vielleicht ist an H. Held umgekehrt ein für mich bestimmter Bogen (oder gar die neue Fahnen) abgegangen?


Hochachtungsvoll ergeben.

⇧ Dear Sir,

The proofs of gathering 6 of Held, Das Arbeitsverhältnis im Nürnberger Handwerk have just reached me in error, and I am needless to say sending them back to you today by return post. Could it be that in the reverse direction a gathering (or even the new set of galley-proofs) intended for me has been dispatched to Mr. Held?


Respectfully devoted
