1:30 p.m.

Dear A. P. – I still have no coal and I will need some by this afternoon. I’m sure you have a small reserve and I therefore ask you to give a quantum that you can do without to the bearer of this message. – The more the better. – Once the coals from the Western Railway Station arrive, we can deduce it.
Best regards to both of you,
EGON

I can keep warm until 3 o’clock!
