Sehr geehrter Herr,

das ist nun leider, so originell die lexikographische Form sein mag, für die Zukft. nicht geeignet. Wirklich nicht, nehmen Sies nicht übel.

Wenn Rosenthal¹ den großen und wichtigen Leserkreis der Zkft - die enorm nachgedruckt wird - nicht will - auch gut. Aber Sie hat er unverschämt genarrt.

Gelber² gab ich herzliche Grüße für Sie. Nun, bitte, grüßen Sie ihn; vielleicht kann er mir Jemand werben, z. B. Adler³ über soziale Verhältnisse in Oesterreich.

Herzlichstes zum Fest.⁴
Ihr

Dear Sir,

Although the lexicographical form is ever so original, this is unfortunately not suitable for Die Zukunft. I beg you earnestly not to take it amiss.

If Rosenthal¹ does not want the large and important readership of Die Zukunft--which is widely reprinted--well and good. But he has imposed on you unconscionably.

I gave Gelber² sincere greetings for you. Now, please, you send greetings to him; perhaps he can recommend someone to me--Adler,³ for instance--on social relations in Austria.

Sincerest wishes for the holiday.⁴

Yours,
[signed:] Harden

³ Click on Viktor Adler.

⁴ i.e. Christmas.

SUMMARY:
Harden rejects one of Schenker's submissions; he is resigned to Rosenthal's refusal to publish in Die Zukunft, but tells Schenker that Rosenthal has maligned him; he asks Schenker to greet [Adolph?] Gelber and request a referral to someone, perhaps Viktor Adler, who would write about Austrian social relations for Die Zukunft.
