⇧ Dear Sir,
I ask that the two copies (vols I and
II/1) ordered on my account and destined
for Mrs. Jenny
Kornfeld
(Aussig,
Bohemia) be packed together with the copies reserved for me myself and be redirected to my
own address.

It goes without saying that, as before, they are to be charged to my
account.
I remain, with best thanks,
with kind regards

Footnotes
1
Counterpoint 1 (i.e. vol. II/1) was
published on October 4, so Schenker's redirection was just in time. This seemingly
insignificant message implicitly conveys the momentous fact that Jeanette Kornfeld is
leaving her husband and family in Aussig and moving to Vienna to be with Schenker (cf.
CA 127, September 20).
