Eigh. Letter m. U. "L. ==References== 3 p. Double leaf. Gr. 8vo. Vienna 9.XII.1885. Here still as mining rapporteur to Mr von Grünberg. "... Since Saturday, Mr. Regierungsrath has received Carl Ritter v. Ernst ... no longer the Wr general newspaper. By writing exclusively the Berg u. Hütten newspaper, and having only made the journal during its multi-monthly illness, it follows that if no more 2 free copies are traced, at least the paper is due to him and I will be content to read it from a second hand. - Is this a consequence of the redaction change? or of the change of ownership? I also regret that the Montan newspaper, which was once published weekly, appears so rarely, in the last time 1 times a month. In this way, the interest in the category, the joy in writing the same, and the incentive of the mining audience to prenumeration ... I don't know who to address my remarks, but since the nerves of the whole company converge with you, I am so free to present my pain to you with the greatest veneration ...". - This year Ludwig Schrank (who by the way also emerged as a composer under the pseudonym Louis Mannsfeld) had taken over the publication of the "Photographic Correspondence", which he kept until the end of his life. As one of the leading authors on photography topics, Schrank received numerous international honours and awards. - A little patchy and wrinkled; small wrinkles.
