die „IX“ einem Musiker zu widmen. Der Adressät heißt:

Braunschweig
(

). Wollen Sie die Güte haben, das Buch versenden zu lassen, u. mir hierüber einen
Erlagschein (jenseits von „MK“ u.s.w. u.s.w., wie in den
früheren Fällen) zu senden.

Vielen Dank u. beste Wünsche für Weihnacht u. Neujahr.

Dear Director!
I
1
am compelled yet again to dedicate my
book on the Ninth Symphony at my expense to a musician. The recipient's name is:
Bernhard Seidmann
, music director at the Provincial Theater,
Braunschweig
(Germany). Please would you be so kind as to arrange
for the book to be sent, and to send me a payment order for it
(from beyond the Mark etc., etc., as in previous cases).
2
Many thanks, and best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
[The entire message is crossed through diagonally; in
the left margin appear "3499" (the UE number of "Beethovens Neunte Sinfonie") and "900"; in the
lower magin "Dec. 24, dealt with Br." all in an unknown hand, presumably a member of the UE
staff]
Yours very truly,
