Dear Sir,

Sincerest thanks. Falstaff[|1] will be here on June 1, and I would very much|² like to have something about it, if possible, in the issue to appear on the 2nd, because otherwise all the papers will be overflowing with it eight days later. But then I would need to have the manuscript by Monday morning (the 29th) at the latest--I leave it to you and only ask for a line on whether it's coming.

In haste, with best wishes,
Yours,
[signed:] H.

FOOTNOTES:

¹ The production of Verdi's Falstaff was moving from Vienna to Berlin, so Harden evidently hoped that Schenker could provide him with a review before the opera was to appear in Berlin.

² "sehr gern": double-underlined.

SUMMARY:
Harden asks Schenker to write a review of Verdi's Falstaff in time for the Berlin opening of the opera.
