Autograph letter signed from Josef Merz to Adolph Brodsky

Scope and Content

Josef Merz regrets that Brodsky does not write to him. Nor has he heard from Benis who is even lazier at writing than Brodsky himself. Since the end of the war Merz has not been going to Vienna because of passport and boundary difficulties. Merz recalls Adolph as the little 10-year-old boarder at the Pick Institute who is now a great and famous violinist. Here he is, about to celebrate his seventieth birthday. He sends warm birthday wishes and hopes to see him soon. The letter is in German and is dated 2 Nov 1921.
