Dear, honored Mr. Schenker,

I have been in Vienna since yesterday evening. Might it be possible for us to get together this evening?¹ i.e. that, if it is convenient for your wife,² I might call on you today at around 7:30, have supper with you, and spend the evening with you?

Please drop me a line via the bearer of this—in the affirmative, I hope.

In hopes of seeing you soon,
with cordial greetings, and to your wife, too,
