Scope and Content

This undated letter was written on a Tuesday. This is a very sad, begging letter to Adolph Brodsky from Ottokar Novacek who has fallen on hard times. Novacek wants to take a year off work to establish himself as a composer. He has sent his quartet to Hausen who has not replied. Novacek encloses the new conclusion to the Adagio – the old one was too sudden. Novacek concludes by sending greetings to the Brodskys and to Frau Picard.
