The letter (written on the back of the carbon copy of a Berg letter to [Baroness Czischek]) concerning a portrait of him that he asks his sister to get from the Baroness, referring to the sale of the manuscript of Wozzeck [to the Library of Congress], and sending the Baroness the manuscript of three songs from his youth, two of which are unpublished, expressing regret that he cannot write something for her, being so busy working on Lulu, and adding that he must write a string quartet on commission from "die Amerikanische Nationalbibliothek;" the postcards are of a social nature: the one from Venice is addressed to the "Frauen Eger u. Keller," and is also signed by Helene [Berg], Alma Mahler, and Franz Werfel; the one from Villach is a photograph of Berg's automobile; the third card is a photograph of Berg, and is also signed by Helene [Berg].
