I beg you to send me immediately the document that confirms the amount of money that was sent to Universal Edition . Hertzka disputes everything! The confirmation will settle matters. We, Dr. Baumgarten and I, are waiting to send the answer to Universal Edition.


In the greatest haste! Many, many greetings to you all from me and Lie-Liechen.
Yours,
