Scope and Content

Novacek hopes that Brodsky has received his letter in Switzerland. He thanks him for his and for the eagerly awaited 100 marks. Novacek is distressed that he depends on Brodsky and not a millionaire for money. For this reason he has definitely decided to go back to New York and he awaits news from his letter daily. Although he has an aversion to America, he can earn a living and he wants to play the dear viola to the end of his life. He is about to go off to see Busoni. Dated 5 Sep 1898.
