18th Aug. 1918
(Vienna 1877–1955 Vienna)
(Tulln 1890–1918 Vienna)
Transcription:
18th August 1918.
Dear E. S. –
How would you feel about publishing a portfolio of original
graphic works, etchings, lithographs and woodcuts by the “New
Secession”? About 10–12 works by
you, [Anton] Faistauer, [Albert Paris] Gütersloh, [Johannes] Fischer, [Georg] Merkel, [Franz von] Zülow, [Josef von] Divéky etc.
– I would like to talk to you about it, in
Faistauer’s presence, to make sure there is no jealousy
nor any misunderstandings. Please contact A.
F. [Anton Faistauer] and bring him to see me on one of the
following afternoons – except for Tuesday – at the
Avalun publishing house between 4 and 6 o’clock. The D tram
stops right in front of the house.
The Pritzel doll is waiting to be rescued by you,
since I did not know when you would be home for certain
and have hardly had any free time lately, I have not yet
brought it to you; but you could come and get it at any
time.
Kind regards, your old friend:
A. R.-r.
