'Hochverehrliches Pr�sidium der Gesellschaft f�r deutsche Wissenschaft, Kunst und Literatur in B�hmen! Wenngleich correspondierendes Mitglied der Gesellschaft, wage ich es dennoch und erachte es im Interesse der Wissenschaft geboten, an das hochverehrliche Pr�sidium mit einer ergebenen Bitte heranzutreten, welche ich im Nachfolgenden begr�nden will.
Seit dem Jahre 1880 bis zu welchem Zeitpunkte ich Assistent an der k.k. Sternwarte in Wien war, mit der Erforschung des Orients besch�ftigt, ist es mir bisher unter �berwindung allerlei, besonders finanzieller Schwierigkeiten gelungen, drei erfolgreiche Reisen nach S�darabien auszuf�hren. ...
Da ich noch die g�nstige Winterzeit ben�tzen m�chte, so w�re ich dem verehrlichen Vorstande sehr zu Dank verbunden, wann mein ergebenstes Ansuchen bald erledigt werden k�nnte und bitte ich, die Erledigung unter meinem Namen nach Saaz (B�hmen) adressiren zu wollen. Eduard Glaser'
Short description:
This letter contains Eduard Glaser's application for a grant for a fourth research sojourn in South Arabia, which he submitted to the 'Gesellschaft zur F�rderung deutscher Wissenschaft, Kunst und Literatur in B�hmen' (Society for the Promotion of German Science, Art and Culture in Bohemia.
Glaser describes the milestones in his career, highlighting his position as an assistant at the Imperial and Royal Observatory in Vienna. Observatory in Vienna and his hitherto three journeys to Yemen (October 1882 - April 1884, April 1885 - February 1886, October 1887 - September 1888). ...
The explorer concludes his application with the request that his 'humble request' be dealt with soon and that the reply be sent to Saaz (present-day Žatec).
