Verehrter Herr Schenker! 1

Soeben trifft ein Brief von J. Fischer an mich ein, aus dem hervorgeht, daß er zwar meinen Brief aus Lauenstein erhalten hat, daß aber die Partitur des Herbstliedes 2 nicht in seine Hand gelangen ist. Er will Sie sich just von Ihnen leihen. Bitte, geben Sie sie ihm nicht! Ich schicke ihm natürlich ein anderes Exemplar.


Herzlichst
Ihr

Revered Mr. Schenker, 1

A letter to me from J. Fischer has just arrived, from which it emerges that he has indeed received my letter from Lauenstein, but that the score of my Herbstlied 2 has not reached him. He just wants to borrow it from you. Please do not give it to him! I will of course send him another copy.


Most cordially
Your
