Sehr geehrter Herr Doktor,

nein, so tyrannisch bin ich doch nicht, Sie in der Verwerthung Ihrer Arbeiten irgend zu geniren. Geben Sie ruhig dem kleinen Mamooth,¹ was Sie wollen.

Die „Zeit" ist eine böse Enttäuschung. So wenig hätte ich doch unserem H. B.² nich zugetraut. Aber vielleicht wirds d noch besser.

Besten Gruß Ihnen u. Gelber³
Von Ihrem

Dear Doctor,

No, I am not at all so tyrannical as to hamper you in any way from using your own works. You are free to give the little mammoth¹ whatever you please.

Die Zeit is a terrible disappointment. I wouldn't have expected so little even from our H. B.² But perhaps it will yet turn out better.

Sincere greetings to you and Gelber,³
from Yours,
[signed:] Harden

COMMENTARY:
Format: printed postcard, holograph address recto, holograph message and signature verso.
Sender address: --
Recipient address: Vienna III, Fraungasse 1

FOOTNOTES:

¹ The reference is uncertain.

² Hermann Bahr.

³ Probably the scholar of German language and literature, Adolph Gelber (1856-1923).

SUMMARY:
Harden denies that he will try prevent Schenker from publishing his material wherever he chooses; and he commiserates with Schenker over a presumed slight by Hermann Bahr of Die Zeit.
