⇧ L. Fr.

Ich habe Ihre Notiz 1 etwas konstruiert (glaube auch nicht, daß sie im Originalzustande von Graf u. Liebstöckl gebracht werden wird!) ohne jedoch den Sinn zu ändern u. hoffe, daß sie in 2 Tagen längstens erscheint.

Ich reise erst gegen den 20. Juni nach Ischl, bin sehr geplagt u. gesetzt u. brauche schon sehr Erholung.


Herzl. Grüße einstweilen

⇧ Dear friend,

I have somewhat revised your notice 1 (I don’t believe that it would have been published by Graf or Liebstöckl in its original form) without, however, changing the meaning; and I hope that it will be published in two days’ time, at the latest.

I am not departing for Ischl until toward June 20, and I am harassed and bothered, and already in need a great deal of rest.


In the meantime, cordial greetings,
from your
