Dear Mr. Hinrichsen:
Mr. Schoenberg has to ask you the following three questions.
1.) You have promised to publish the Violin
Fantasy, in December, 1950. Up to now, you have
even not sent proofs for correction. When can he
expect publication of this work?
Fantasy, in December, 1950. Up to now, you have
even not sent proofs for correction. When can he
expect publication of this work?
2.) Up to now you have also not yet sent proofs
for new version of the Five Orchestra Pieces,
and have not yet approached the production of new
orchestral parts. When will you do this?
3.) In spite of all letters which testify your re-
spective obligation to the publication of these
works, you have not yet made out and signed a con-
tract. When will you do this?
You remember that you are obligated to pay Mr. Schoen-
berg an honorarium, as advance on his royalties. Mr.
Schoenberg did not object against your condition to
pay it only after publication, though such a condi-
tion is quite unusual. He agreed with this, only as
an act of courtesy, supposing that this publica-
tion would not be delayed as long as that.

Mr. Schoenberg expects an immediate answer and response to these problems.
