Ist was? Eine sehr interessante Neuigkeit (HeubergerBopp ‒ ich) hatte ich für dich. 2 Jedenfalls nehme ich an, daß wir beide uns bei Schnabl treffen, 3 ich habe soeben Prof. Fischer abgesagt, zu dem ich sonst hätte müssen.

Any news? I had a very interesting piece of news (HeubergerBopp ‒ myself) for you. 2 At any rate, I assume that we are both meeting for Schnabel. 3 I have just turned down Professor Fischer, whom I would otherwise have had to visit.
