                           Sehr verehrter Doktor Kraus:


                Thank you for your letter of 29ten Julni,and the honor of your
            invitation to read at the Gesellschaft on 29ten Spet September.
            It seems to me only proper that the main part of my programme
            should have a specific relation to Austria. So,for the benefit of
            whoever is going to do the translations,it will include the
            following poems.
              from ABOUT THE HOUSE
                    Thanksgiving for a Habitat.
                    The Cave of Making. ✓
                    3 Ascension Day,I964 ✓
                    ― Whitsunday in Kirschsteetten[] ✓
             from CITY WITHOUT WALLS  
                   ―Joseph Weinheber ✓
                   ―Elegy for Emma Eiermann. ✓
                   ―August I968 ✓
                   ―Prologue at Sixty. ✓


             When I have timed the reading,I will let you know what else I
             intend to read.


                     Ihr ergebener
