⇧ Lieber, geehrter Herr Dr. Jonas ! 1

H. v. Hob. kommt Mittwoch, spätestens Donnerstag nach Wien (mit Frau) u. steigt im Cottage-Sanatorium , Wien, XVIII, Sternwartestr. 74 ab. – Es freut mich zu hören, daß es Ihnen in der Gesundheit nun besser geht.

Hoffentlich hat sich Dr. Ftw. Ihnen gegenüber besser betragen als Dr. R. Strauss hier, dessen {recto} Auftreten, vielmehr Nichtauftreten hier, wie ich lese, Befremden erregte. Lassen Sie davon bald etwas hören.

Mit besten Grüßen u Wünschen von mir u. meiner Frau.


Ihr

⇧ Dear, revered Dr. Jonas, 1

Mr. van Hoboken arrives Wednesday, Thursday latest, in Vienna (with his wife) and will be stopping at the Cottage Sanatorium , Vienna XVIII, Sternwartestrasse 74. — I am pleased to hear that your health is now better.

It is to be hoped that Dr. Furtwängler has behaved better toward you than Dr. Richard Strauss here, whose {recto} support, or rather nonsupport here, has, as I read, caused annoyance. Let me have word about it soon.

With best greetings from my wife and me,


Your
