Contents:
The beginning of this letter reads: 'L. B.!' (abbreviated for: Dear brother!) Beiliegend 1000 (eintausend) Mark, welche du mir gutschreiben wirst. Ich habe heute 1100 Mark bekommen. Die restlichen 700 (nicht 800) bekomme ich in 3 oder 4 Tagen, da diesz eine andere Abtheilung des Museums angeht. Sobald ich die 700 Mk habe, schicke ich dir wieder 500 oder 600 Mk.
Sende sofort 44 fl (nicht mehr!) an Siegmund, welcher f�r mich einige B�cher u. Zeitschriften zu bezahlen hat. Sonst nichts Neues. Falls man mir hier f�r die ausgesuchten 82 B�cher nicht 13000 Mk gibt, verkaufe ich sie nicht, sondern biete die ganze Sammlung anderswo an.
Es wird freilich etwas lange dauern; allein verschleudern darf ich mein Verm�gen nicht. Ich werde jedenfalls f�r die B�cher allein mindestens 25000 Mark, vielleicht weit mehr, erzielen. Darum ist mir nicht leid. Gr�sze mir alle Dein Eduard'
Short description:
Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) encloses 1000 marks with his letter - an amount he earned from the sale of his collections of antiquities from his third trip to Yemen (October 1887 - September 1888) to the 'K�nigliche Museen zu Berlin'.
He asks his brother Alois (1853-1931) to immediately send 44 florins to their younger brother Sigmund (1857-1913).
As far as the Arabic manuscripts originating from his third journey are concerned, Glaser intends to offer the entire collection to another prospective buyer if the 'K�nigliche Bibliothek zu Berlin' does not stick to its offer of 13,000 marks for 82 selected volumes.
Emphasising that he 'can't squander his assets', Glaser finally expresses confidence that he will 'get at least 25,000 marks for the books alone'.
