Contents:
The beginning of this letter reads: 'L. Br.!' (abbreviated for: Dear brother!) Anbei erhältst du die Anweisung auf 8000 (achttausend) Mark. Trenne den Zettel ab u. übergebe ihn der Bank in Saaz. ...
Theile mir umgehend mit, ob es zweckmäszig ist, das ganze Geld in Saaz du deponiren. Hier bekomme ich blosz 1 1/2 Prozent. Frage deswegen in der Bank nach, wie viel sie zahlen würden. ... Sage Bruder Karl, ich habe jetzt keinen Augenblick Zeit, weil ich für den Orientalistencongress in Stockholm im September (Anfangs September) in aller Eile einen Brief schreibe.
... Der Präsident des Congresses hat bei mir angefragt, ob ich dem König nichts zu überreichen habe. Er würde Sorge tragen, dass es der König genädigst aufnimmt. Der Präsident, Graf Landberg, ist ein Freund von mir u. sehr intim mit dem König Oskar. Ich will deshalb das Buch fertig bringen. Hoffentlich geht's, obzwar ich damisch arbeiten musz. Dein Eduard'
Short description:
Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) instructs his brother Alois (1853-1931) how to withdraw the money issued by the British Museum Library in the form of a bill of exchange following the acquisition of Eduard Glaser's collection of Arabic manuscripts dating from his third trip to Yemen (October 1887 - September 1889).
He apologises for not writing to his eldest brother Karl (1851-1898), as he is busy with preparations for the 8th International Congress of Orientalists to be held in Stockholm in September 1889:
Glaser intends to finalise his manuscript 'Skizze der Geschichte Arabiens von den ältesten Zeiten bis zum Propheten Muhammad. Ausschließlich nach inschriftlichen Quellen' in order to offer it as a gift to the Swedish king Oscar II (1829-1907), thus complying with a request by the President of the Congress Count Carlo Landberg (1848-1924).
