Alles Gute zu den Feiertagen

Dear, revered Master,
1
Warmest thanks for the beautifully printed cards.
2
Dr. Salzer is on
holiday in the Mediterranean, so I have given the card intended for him to a female pupil
who has been with me a long time, and would be very grateful to you if you would send me
another one, if you have a spare, which I could give him when he returns.
All good wishes for the holidays
3
from all of us!
Cordially, Your faithful

Footnotes
1 Receipt of
this postcard and Schenker's response are recorded in his diary at OJ 4/4, p. 3603,
April 3, 1931: "Von Weisse (K.): bittet um eine Mozart-Karte für eine
Schülerin [sic]. [...] An Weisse die gewünschte Mozart-Karte." ("From
Weisse (postcard): requests a Mozart card for a female pupil [sic]. [...]To
Weisse, the requested Mozart card.").
2 Copies of the calling card bearing an excerpt from the
(forged) Mozart letter much discussed in the 1931 correspondence, that Schenker had had
produced by Jahoda & Siegel
