Untranslated letter to “Herr Mautner.” Rilke writes asking if he can reschedule his upcoming visit for daytime rather than in the evening, because he does not like to travel at night and is useless after a certain hour. In fine condition, with scattered light creasing to top and bottom edges, and just a bit of light toning. R&R COA.
