Footnotes

1 Receipt of this calling card is not recorded in Schenker’s diary. “Sonntag am 8 dm” is insufficient to determine month or year. It can probably not precede 1906, since that is the first reference to one of the Colberts in Schenker’s diary. (Schenker taught Paul Szalit briefly in 1897.)
