OJ 10/3, [199] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated November 4, 1933
Deutsch has heard that Eva van Hoboken is trying to persuade her husband that
Deutsch is exploiting him. He fears that the letter his wife has written to Hoboken will
have done more harm than good, and that it will hardly be possible for a family of four to
live on 600 shillings a month. He fears that Eva will persuade him not to buy the villa in
Vienna in which his library is to be housed.

1933
