A 2025.12.b1.f10.6abDescription
[a] The writer says she has been thinking about what Gertrude said in her previous letter about Method. She then starts talking about what she will do when she returns from Austria. She mentions studying for a month in New York, practicing piano & organ, and doing church work. She says that she hasn't done any church work in Vienna as there are only Catholic churches except one small Protestant congregation. She mentions being unsure of the money supply and needing to look for cheaper accommodations. She talks about taking only a couple more lessons with Leschetizky and then getting a signed photography. She estimates that coming home early and staying in New York would cost $200. She mentions Gertrude sending a check to cover monthly expenses. She says she will plan to sail in "the middle of next month" once she receives Gertrude's answer.
[b] There is an ink postage stamp in German that is hard to read. The postage stamp is blue with an image of Emperor Franz Joseph. The stamp cost 25 heller.Subject Person/Organization
