Handwritten calling[?] card from Röntgen to Schenker, undated

{recto}
Freitag sehr früh!

Geehrtester Herr Doctor,

Plötzlich waren Sie gestern Abend verschwunden und ich konnte Ihnen nicht einmal danken für Ihre Freundlichkeit mir Ihre Clavierstücke zu verehren.¹

{verso} Vorläufig also hierdurch und, wie ich hoffe, bald mündlich in etwas weniger "Prestißimo-Stimmung" als gestern im Concert!

Inzwischen grüßt Sie
verschwungsvoll
Ihr ergebener

Friday, very early!

Most honored Herr Doctor,

You disappeared suddenly last night and I could not thank you even once for your kindness in giving me your piano pieces.¹

{verso} Let us therefore [arrange] provisionally--and soon, I hope--to speak in somewhat less of a "prestissimo atmosphere" than [we had] yesterday at the concert!

Until then,
Disappearing greetings from
Yours truly,
[signed:] Julius Röntgen
