E7-MD-350. Pun by Mahler: Mein lieber Sohn Cephises / Ich sage Dir nur dieses.

E7-MD-351. Pencil copy by Justine of a review of the 1892 three-volume publication of Mahler’s early songs (Lieder und Gesänge für eine Singstimme und Klavier von Gustav Mahler).

The former director of the Royal Opera, G.M. gives again a sign of life and sends us from afar his musical greetings in the form of an imposing Liederkranz. The 14 songs which he offers in three volumes are as many pictures of mood warmly felt and uniquely invented. A fine-feeling, artistically-modelling musician speaks to us with these gifts of songs. His melodies are ealthy and of a long beautiful breath, at the same time quite elegant and original in all their simplicity and folk origins which comes from the texts themselves, most of which are taken from the folk song collection Des Knaben Wunderhorn. He exhibits a rich scale of feeling. He finds characteristic sound for simple humour, charming impishness, elegy, resignation, for idyllic enthusiasm and the pains of love. (handwriting changes suddenly) For this the singing voice is always appropriately treated and the piano joins it as eloquent interpreter always following with especially fine feeling, the scenic and psychological changes.

As the most important numbers in the collection we want to point out “Hans und Grethe,” with its lovely and comfortable Laendler sound, the small ballad “Um schlimme Kinder artig zu machen”, reamily delicate “Ich gieng mit Lust durch einen gruenen Wald.” “Aus, Aus” in bold-03ing tempo has a Hungarian colouration, probably a grateful reminiscence from Budapest. “Zu Strassburg auf der Schanz” brings a tragic event in the narrowest musical frame; the piece in its folk origins basic sound is a reminder of Schumann’s “Die beiden Grenadiere.” Characteristically, the piano here is imitating the shawm. Very nice is “Ablösung im Sommer” with its light humour and perhaps the best piece “Scheiden und Meiden” with its character of moving between carelessness and farewell mood moist with tears. The three brochures have appeared in three brochures for both high and low voices.

E7-MD-352. Doodle by Mahler on Hofoper stationery.

E13-MD-543 Two pages of notes for Mahler’s address to the staff of the Royal Hungarian Opera in Budapest. [10-10-1888]. These notes were published in 1924 (GMB 75) without making clear their provisional nature. The document is full of added and deleted words and phrases, and contains an additional paragraph (written upside down and in pencil) that was omitted in the published version. The provisional nature of these notes, now that the original manuscript has resurfaced,-05-help to account for the discrepancies between the published text (GMB 75) and newspaper reports of Mahler’s speech noted by Zoltan Roman in Gustav Mahler and Hungary (Budapest: Akadémiai Kiadó, 1991), It seems likely that Mahler made a second draft of his speech from the present document, and that this has not survived.

E4-CAr-207. Emile Jaques-Dalcroze to Arnold Rosé. 27-11-1905. Wonders if Rosé would perform his Serenade while the quartet is in Paris in the spring. Encloses press clippings (206.)

Thanks Rosé, and the Hofopernorchester through him, for their support in the revival his two operas [Der Ring des Polykrates, op. 7 and Violanta, op. 8] this coming Saturday [31 May]. The date is unclear, but seems correct. According to Franz Hadamowsky, ed., Die Wiener Hoftheater (Staatstheater): ein Verzeichnis der Aufgeführten und Eingerichten Stücke mit Bestandsnachweisen und Aufführungsdaten, vol. 2., Die Wiener Hofoper (Staatsoper) 1811-1974 (Vienna: Brüder Hollinek/Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek, 1975) these operas were never performed on a Saturday in 1919. The 1919-1920 performances were the only ones conducted by Korngold. Perhaps a performance scheduled for 31-05-had to be cancelled.

E3-CAr-150. Franz Xavier Nagl to Arnold Rosé. 28-02-1897. Nagl would be pleased to permit entry to the Anima chapel during Rosé’s Italian concert tour; naturally the music should harmonize with the liturgical setting.

E2-CAr-82. Hans Pfitzner (1869-1949) to Arnold Rosé. 04-01-1903. Bruno Walter has told him that his latest string quartet [in D major, op. 14; dedicated to Alma Mahler] will be “baptized” by the Rosé Quartet on 13-01. Unfortunately Pfitzner’s recent illness makes his presence unlikely.

E2-CAr-83. Hans Pfitzner to Arnold Rosé. 11-02-1903. Would Rosé please send him the score of his quartet so that he-05-have more parts copied; if the Quartet is not playing the work in the near future, perhaps he would return the parts as well. “Doch nur dann, und nicht wenn Sie (wie mir Bruno Walter schrieb) das Werk demnächst in Prag zur Aufführung bringen wollen.”

E2-CAr-84. Hans Pfitzner to Arnold Rosé. 02-03-1903. Looking forward to seeing Rosé in Munich on 15-04; he is conducting a concert of his own works there on 3-04, and will also be in Prague.

E2-CAr-85. Hans Pfitzner to Arnold Rosé. 18-08-1908. Would Rosé consider accepting a smaller honorarium for his solo engagement on 20-01? Pfitzner is currently working on a piano quintet [op.23], to be published by Peters, and is thinking of a premiere by the Rosé Quartet, with himself on piano-both in Vienna and Berlin. Is Rosé interested? [Premiere took place 17-11-1908 in Berlin, and 12-01-1909 in Vienna.]

E2-CAr-86. Hans Pfitzner to Arnold Rosé. 02-09-1908. Regrets that Rosé is unable to perform on 20-01. Suggests 12-01-(Vienna) and 17-11-(Berlin) for performances of the piano quintet-perhaps Prague as well-and describes the piece to Rosé.

E2-CAr-87. Hans Pfitzner to Arnold Rosé. 15-09-1908. Gutmann’s behaviour about the honorarium is very embarrassing to him.

E2-CAr-88. Hans Pfitzner to Arnold Rosé. 17-09-1908. Possibility of a Leipzig performance of the quintet on 14-11. He is doubtful, but what does Rosé think?

E2-CAr-89. Hans Pfitzner to Arnold Rosé. 24-09-1908. Further discussion of dates and rehearsals for the piano quintet.

E2-CAr-91. Hans Pfitzner to Arnold Rosé. [before 17-11-1908]. Discussion of arrangements for 17-11 in Berlin. On p. 59 of the score the fortissimo in the viola is wrong; it should remain mezzoforte.

E2-CAr-90. Hans Pfitzner to Arnold Rosé. 14-11-1909. Would the Rosé Quartet participate in Pfitzner’s “Schumannfest” (11-06-1910 and 13-06-1910) on 11-06-1910? He would like Schumann’s piano quartet, op. 47, the violin sonata in D minor, op. 121, and a quartet of Rosé’s choice.

E3-CAr-156. Georges Picquart (1854-1914) to Arnold Rosé. 08-11-1908. Recommends to Rosé his friends, the Chaigneaus, who will be playing Reger’s Trio in Vienna on the 18th.

Discussion of proper tempi/metronome markings for each ovement of op. 74. [With only minor differences, these correspond to the tempi in the published score]. Rosé’s will likely be the first performance in most cities.

E2-CAr-93. Max Reger to Arnold Rosé. 23-01-1905. Is Rosé playing his String Quartet, op. 74 on 21-02-1905 at the Vereinigung der schaffenden Tonkünstler concert in Vienna? If so, it might be possible for Reger to be present.

E2-CAr-94. Max Reger to Arnold Rosé. 05-02-1905 (postmark). Reger is able to come to the rehearsal [of his quartet, op. 74] in the morning of 20-02-1905, or between 3 and 5 on 19-02-1905

E2-CAr-95. Max Reger to Arnold Rosé. 11-02-1905. Asks for a response to 94.

E2-CAr-96. Max Reger to Arnold Rosé. 16-02-1905 (postmark). Will arrive in Vienna on 18-02, and asks again when the rehearsal for the quartet is scheduled.

He has just finished a Serenade for orchestra, op. 95, and asks Rosé to try to get it performed in a Philharmonic concert; “Diese ist das Liebenswürdigste was ich je in meinem Leben geschrieben habe!” The Suite edicated to Rosé would make a good conclusion for an evening of chamber music.

E2-CAr-100. Max Reger to Arnold Rosé. 25-07-1906 (postmark). Further discussion of dates for the Reger concert.

E2-CAr-101. Max Reger to Arnold Rosé. 06-10-1906 (postmark). Sends Rosé a copy of the Suite (im alten Stil), op. 93, dedicated to him. Next year, he will have a new quartet to play. Disappointed that the proposed Regerabend could not take place this year.

E2-CAr-105. Max Reger to Arnold Rosé. 23-08-1908. His op. 102 and op. 103 will be published on 15-09–in plenty of time for the concert. Please program the suite (25 minutes) before the trio (45 minutes). Suggests Brahms violin sonata, op. 78, or a Beethoven quartet for the first number, followed by the two Reger pieces. [Beethoven op. 18 no. 5 was chosen.]

E2-CAr-106. Max Reger to Arnold Rosé. 09-09-1908. Neither work will be a premiere, but both will be given for the first time in Vienna. Agrees to Berlin, but when?

E2-CAr-112. Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) to Arnold Rosé. [Fall 1908]. Schoenberg asks the Rosé Quartet to give the premiere of his new string quartet [Second Quartet, op. 10]. He describes each movement, and warns Rosé of the work’s difficulty, both in terms of individual technique and ensemble. Hopes to have Marie Gutheil-Schoder for the soprano. Arnold Rosé drafted his response on the bottom of the letter: he is looking forward to Schoenberg’s latest work, but is certain that Gutheil would expect an honorarium and he is himself unable to find the money.

E2-CAr-111. Arnold Schoenberg to Arnold Rosé. [28-02-1909; dated by Rosé]. Schoenberg expresses his thanks to Rosé with a few measures of music, since words are inadequate to convey his gratitude for Rosé’s playing of his works.

E2-CAr-110. Arnold Schoenberg to Justine Rosé. [1911]. Schoenberg’s card, originally inside a copy of his Harmonielehre [not in collection], with the following inscription on the reverse: “vor Allem, weil dieses Buch Mahler gewidmet ist, müßen Sie es haben.

5.3 Six letters from Justine to Emma

S2-JE-769a -Wien am 25-10-1899 -Justine to Emma in Boston -discusses planned visit to Hamburg and need to be back in Vienna on 14-11. Plans to visit Berkan on first day

. . . Yesterday I gave Arnold your cushion. I left the choice to him, and he chose the one which you had intended for Gustav; he thanks you very much. The day before yesterday was the première of [Anton Rubenstein’s Der] Dämon. Mildenburg was in excellent voice-just as in old times. I now see her much less since Behn is in the picture. What do you think of the fact that I am again on good terms with Behn? Herr Schlesinger [Bruno Walter] has sent a letter again. I think that he would now like to be engaged here. But Rottenberg’s (who is now here for six weeks) engagement is as much as certain. He is a very good musician, and a nice fellow as well, but by no means as good a conductor as Schlesinger, although the orchestra likes him. I am very happy about his engagement: at least he is someone who will not scheme. The Philharmonic concerts are already sold out-in fact, not a single ticket was available and many reservations were in vain. Probably a second series of concerts will take place, such is the demand. I believe I have already told you that nothing has happened with either Russia or Paris. They will not pay as much as Gustav has asked; I am not unhappy about it-it would have been a tremendous exertion for Gustav. We now regularly walk for an hour each afternoon in the Prater, and this does Gustav such good that he is really much healthier this year than usual-even his digestion. . . .

S2-JE-769b -Wien am 05-11-1899 -Justine to Emma -Travelling to Hamburg tomorrow, but will be back next Tuesday for Arnold’s quartet concert. Asks Emma to write more informative letters.

. . . This time the crowd at the Philharmonic concert was so unbelievably large that a repetition of the first concert will take place on Wednesday-actually in the evening: such a demand is unprecedented. Gustav had no luck with Der Dämon. I think that the last performance will take place next week. Mildenburg was fantastic, almost like her best times in Hamburg. Last night we were with her and Behn together at Theuer’s; she is always so nice, and I always enjoy being with her. In fact, we don’t see each other often-at most, twice a week. Behn has now taken a small apartment here . . . Today is also the first concert; tonight we are at Nina’s . . .

S2-JE-769c -Wien am 16-11-1899 -Justine to Emma -reports on visit to Hamburg and Frau Marcus, Toni, Anna, Max Mumssen. Glad to be back in Vienna. Mentions Birrenkosten, Zinne, and Frau Behn

I have been back from Hamburg for two days and have received your letter, which was delayed a whole week. There was such a tumult in Hamburg that I did not write Gustav once. . . . Enough of boring old Hamburg. It will interest you to hear that Arnold’s quartet is very well attended this year, and that Hanslick himself was at the first quartet [concert]. I already told you that I sent Siegfried [Lipiner?] to Hanslick in this regard. Arnold must of course never discover this, as he would be furious, but I am still pleased that it succeeded; he seems to be very delighted. Next week he moves into his new apartment. . . . Gustav’s letter to ?Kneisel also seems to have helped a lot. Gustav said that he has never written such an admirable letter. . . . Since I got back from Hamburg, I have not seen anybody except for Albi, who ate with us yesterday. I never see Karpath either, because we never go to the restaurant now, but always eat at home. Should an opportunity arise, I will naturally take it. I have already written about the concerts. Behn has now taken a small apartment, and showers Mildenburg with presents. . . .

S2-JE-769d -Maiernigg am Wörthersee / Villa Antonia [between 15-06-1900 and 23-06-1900] -Justine to Emma -Justine glad that Emma and Eduard are returning from Boston on 01-07. Worries about them travelling with the baby and details of the move

. . . Gustav is in Paris, and I have been in Maiernigg for five days. I feel very well here. Gustav’s hut [Häuschen] in the woods is as if from a fairy-tale, just like someone had put it there by magic, and the structure of the country house promises to be exceptionally beautiful. My thoughts are now always in Weimar [where Emma and Eduard will live]-I will come visit in-09-or October. As I am settled in Vienna, we will stay here until the end of August. Unfortunately we are awfully cramped here in the Villa Antonia. My room is also the dining room, and there is unfortunately no shade outdoors. . .

S2-JE-769e -Maiernigg 23-06-1900] -Justine to Emma -details of move from Boston to Weimar. Finances. Plans to visit in-09-or October. Mentions Freund and Berkan. Eduard’s contract almost certainly permanent

. . . I have taken up the entire correspondence that Frankfurter-as the subject already had been mentioned to Gustav-sent to Alexander, than he might intervene with the Indendent. One naturally couldn’t give him an answer, but, under the circumstances, he could make inquiries. Bearing this in mind, I enclosed Rudolf Krzyzanowski’s letters. One is certainly much indebted to him in this affair! . . . Gustav has the best intentions to speak personally with Eduard this Winter. . . Moreover, I also need my relaxation this year: I have felt unwell all winter, and even took to my bed for a few days before I went to the country. But the climate here suits me splendidly, Gustav’s hut [Häuschen] in the woods is charming-and marvellously quiet, as if in the wilderness-and the structure of the country house promises to be exceptionally beautiful. . . . Gustav is probably coming tonight. He appears to have had a terrible migraine at the second concert. I will be glad when he is here. . . .

S2-JE-769f -Maiernigg am 18-07-1900 -Justine to Emma -Emma and Eduard now underway. Domestic matters. Mentions Berkan, Alice Mumssen, Albine Adler.

. . . Gustav is in Toblach for a couple of days; we couldn’t both check in this year. . . . We live badly here: my room is so terribly hot at night that I can’t sleep, and the woodman’s children are so disruptive during that day that I am at wit’s end. . . . This is the first letter I’ve written in 14 days as I was so ill that I couldn’t hold a pen . . 

5.4 Letter from Mahler to Emma

S2-ME-770 -n.d. [Summer 1900] -Mahler congratulates his sister, Emma, that she is now returning to Europe. Postscript from Arnold.

Also from me, dear Emma, in great hurry (just as I am leaving), warmest greetings to you and your husband. I am always glad to be able to conclude from your letters that you are well, and getting on well with each other. We are thinking of you, and your return to Europe, which-finally-won’t be long now!

5.5 Bruno Walter letters to Mahler, Justine, and Emma

S2-WMp-771 18-12-1898 [1895 suggested at auction] -Walter writes greetings on a picture postcard from Riga.

Lieber Herr Mahler! Ihnen und ihrer lieben Schwester herzliche Neujahrwünsche und viele Grüße. Ihr Bruno Walter.

S2-WJ-772 06-06-1911 -letter from Walter in Bad Gastein to Justine -Walter tries to console both himself and Justine over the death of Mahler the previous 18-05-1911.

I would just like to tell you that my thoughts will be with you tomorrow as your sorrowful hearts will heave with new vehemence. It presses on me here also …. And I can always refresh myself with the hope to reduce at least some of my grief and sorrow in action: in the two premières of his works which I will give this coming winter. This will also be something for you, I hope. Tomorrow you are going with Elsa and Arnold to visit his grave-how gladly would I stand there too! Farewell! In faithful remembrance, I greet you and Arnold. Cordially yours, Bruno.

S2-WE-772.1a 25-02-1903 -Postcard from Wiesbaden to Emma, c/o the Court Theatre, Weimar.

Viele herzliche Grüße. Sonnabend früh bin ich schon wieder in Wien. Ihr Bruno Walter

S2-WE-772.1b 24-01-1908 -Letter card from Cologne to Emma, Bismarkstr. 34, Weimar.

Dear friend! A long business trip also takes me to Gotha; there I of course don’t want to miss the chance of visiting you. I will be with you on Sunday, elevenish, and I am greatly looking forward to finally making the acquaintance of your husband. Would both of you give me the pleasure of being my nice guests for a nice dinner in a nice restaurant in Weimar? Saturday evening I am already in Gotha, Hotel Wünscher, and in Weimar at 11 o’clock Sunday, from where I must leave again at 5:30. So, until I see you again, sincere greetings also to your husband and children.

S2-WE-772.1c 05-06-1912 and 06-06-1912 – Letter to Emma’s husband, Eduard Rosé, on the stationary of the General-Intendanz of the Hoftheater und Hofmusik, Munich

You can imagine that I thought of you first when the necessity to appoint a solo cellist was first mentioned. After all the good things I have heard about you, and after the memories of my personal impression of our meeting in Weimar, and finally also in consideration of my sincere friendship with Emma, I would have liked nothing more than to engage you for the filling of the position. There is, unfortunately-and this “unfortunately” comes from my heart-no hope for it. The age limit is 34 years, over which no court musician is allowed to be engaged-so says the statute (out of consideration of the pension fund). I have discovered that exceptions-with the greatest difficulties-have taken place, in that two or three times gentlemen have been accepted up to 37 years of age. After this, it is entirely impossible-there is thus nothing that can be done here. Please don’t worry about the subject too much. The playing in the summer-even if you can’t become a Munich court musician and solo cellist-will hopefully please you, and-if I definitely come to Munich-you-05-have this pleasure every year.

S2-WE-772.1d -Letter card from Berlin 16-11-1930 

Dear Frau Rosé! Many thanks for your friendly congratulations and your welcome letter . . .

S2-WE-772.1e -photo of Walter

S2-WE-773a -[undated] -from the Parkhotel Erbprinz, Weimar

I stayed here, quite unexpectedly, longer in order to see the Goethe places with Lotte. Can I still see you? Please call me at 6:30 here in the Hotel.

S2-WE-773b 10-08-1898 -from Berlin

Many thanks for your welcome note. Enclosed, with many thanks, you will find your books returned-in good condition, I believe. Please be so kind as to return to Dr. Lipiner the Mommsen and the ? and convey to him at the same time my warmest thanks. Please do the same thing to Justi with Lipiner’s »Prometheus«, which provided me with an hour of greatest enjoyment and significant stimulation. You can also greet them often and warmly from me. Please let me know-here, still-if you are celebrating your wedding and where; in fact: everything important. I am leaving here on the 12th of August-a week from today-make then a short detour to Colberg to visit my blind friend; on the 20th my ship leaves for Stettin, and we arrive, after a 38-hour journey, in Riga on the 22nd. My address is: Riga (Livland), State Theatre. As a matter of fact, you might better write Riga (Russia).

My ship now goes full sail, and the world smiles at me cheerfully. One best accomplishes heroic deeds if one goes forth with a song on one’s lips. And I now have something similar before me, and you ought to see that it is not impossible that something will become of me yet. I now wish you the best and most beautiful things that you can thing of, and know that you can count on my friendship in sorrow and happiness in every regard. I greet you with all my heart, and wish you a pleasant journey, in the smaller and larger senses. Your Bruno

If you can, send me a few lines from your journey-even if it is only a postcard.

S2-WE-773c 21-07-1928 -From Hotel Waldhaus, Sils-Maria, Engadine.

Allow us, Elsa and I, to ask you to convey our warmest wishes to your Ernst and his young bride on their marriage. Hopefully you are happy about this tie of your son’s. Please let us hear a word about it, and also how you are keeping in general. What is Wolfgang up to? We have not heard anything for a long time.

S2-WE-773d 20-02-1931 -From Hotel Hauffe, Leipzig

I have just written Martin and Robert in the most pressing way. My good will is large, my influence, little, since probably too many such requests reach these directors. Hurriedly, with many greetings, Bruno.

5.7 Draft of letter from Arnold Rosé in Mahler’s hand

S2-MArD-775 [between 12-1901 and 01-1902?] -Enclosure from a letter from Justine to Eduard or Emma: a copy of a letter to Rudolf Krasselt (the cellist) drafted by Mahler for Arnold to send under his own name. Letter concerns Krasselt’s brother, Alfred, the concertmaster in Weimar, and his behaviour towards Eduard.

Just now I have discovered how uncollegially and unfairly your brother, Weimar Concertmaster Kasselt, has behaved towards my brother, and, in the event that you would be hired here by director Mahler, would still fabricate stories about him. I hardly need to say how distressed I am about all this-as is Director Mahler. In any case, I regard it as my duty to inform you that, as of today, I am-under these circumstances-not in a position to receive you in my quartet, as was first proposed. I have rushed to give you this news as quickly as possible, as I know what emphasis you have placed on this decision regarding this portion of your future occupation. If you wished on your part to address the consequences of this state of affairs, I would be prepared to recommend this to Mahler.

[Justine:] In haste, the gist of G[ustav]’s letter to Krasselt (for A[rnold]).

6.1 Letters and documents

S3-MC-776 between 09-04-1892 and 13-04-1892 -Hamburg -letter to Ernestine Löhr -complaints about Justine. Conducting Mozart Requiem and Bruckner Te Deum (on Friday 15-04-1892). Has to learn English. Ernestine’s appointment. Hoping to see Ernestine in Berchtesgaden on vacation. Asks for news.

You have probably read my last letter to Justi, and as I know you, I know you have read it correctly. Justi’s answer seems to me to have been written in der erste Rage, and I am less annoyed about its somewhat brusque form (which I naturally attribute only to the momentary mood) than I am about the content, i.e. the fundamental way of thinking (not the way of feeling), which I find so immature. Furthermore, you know that nothing irritates me more than this type of childish sensibility, from which I had really hoped she had long ago emancipated herself.

Today I sent her letter back to her with my marginal notes, and I beg you to go to her and look at my answer, and wash her childish head, and read my letter with her one more time.

I am here in the midst of work -Friday I perform the Mozart Requiem and afterwards the Bruckner Te Deum, and I really need all my peace and quietness to that end; besides that, I must use every free minute to learn English.

… My health is again as of old; as a consequence, also my vital energy and pleasure of life.

S5-FC-973 -Letter from Otto Mahler (1873-1895) in Iglau to unknown “Lieber Freund.” [late May-early-06-1889]

Lieber Freund! Sie dürfen nicht von mir falsch denken. Wenn ich Ihnen nicht geschrieben habe, so hat es seinen Grund in einer sehr misliebigen u[nd] niedergeschlagenen Stimmung, die sich angesichts der sehr traurige Verhältniße zu Hause meiner bemächtigt hat, so daß ich wirklich eine Zeit lang nicht fähig war, auch nur eine Silbe jemandem zu schreiben, geschweige denn einen ganzen Brief. Hören Sie jetzt einmal, wie es zu Hause bei uns aussieht. Also vor allem die Mutter befindet sich in einem Zustand, der schon sehr bedenklich ist und eine Hoffnung auch eine anhaltende Besserung geradezu ausschließt. Sie leidet wirklich furchtbare Qualen, die selbst das Arzt als vereinzelt dastehend bezeichnet. Die Justi, von dieser fortwährenden Aufregung u[nd] den vielen nachtwachen physisch halb zu Grunde gerichtet, u[nd] noch zu alledem an einem Magenkatarrh leidend, ist auch sicher zu bedauern. Sie kann das schwerlich mehr lang so aushalten. Die Emma ist ein ganz gemeines nichtsnutziges Geschöpf, dessen Niederträchtigkeit zu beschreiben beinahe unmöglich ist, welches die Mutter argert u[nd] dem ganzen Hause nur eine Plaza ist, etc. Der Alois sieht seiner in 6 Wochen bevorstehenden hinrückung mit Niedergeschlagenheit entgegen. Und mir gehts auch nicht am besten. Von meinem Magenkatarrh will ich absehen, aber schon dies alles ansehen zu mussen, bringt einen Zerzweiflung. Jetzt haben Sie beiläufig einen kleinen Begriff u[nd] werden auch wissen wie mir zu Muthe ist u[nd] was für Ferien ich verbringe. Also wie geht es Ihnen? Ist Ihre Frau Mutter schon in Wien? Haben Sie schau eine Wohnung aufgenommen?

Jedenfalls sind Sie besser davon als ich. Der mitfreundschaftl[iche] Grüße verbleibt Ihr Otto.

Apropos. Gustav war ungefahr 4 Tage hier ist von nach Prag gefahren u[nd] ist jetzt wahrscheinlich in Wien. Wenn er nicht schon in Pest ist. Er befindet sich übrigens ziemlich wohl.
