In parts:
"Lieber Herr Doktor !
Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Zeilen.
Wenn die Dinge noch beim alten wären, hätte ich sicher in der Angelegenheit vieles tun können. Leider ist durch verschiedene Umstände eine derartige Spaltung zwischen mir und der Festspieldirektion eingetreten, dass eine Empfehlung von mir wahrscheinlich gerade das Gegenteil von dem bewirken würde, was wir erreichen wollten.
Ich hoffe aber, dass trotzdem Sie die Möglichkeit haben, Ihren Wunsch nach einer Inszenierung in Salzburg bald erfüllt zu sehen. [...]"

Translated:
"Dear doctor!
Thank you for your kind lines.
If things were still the same, I certainly could have done a lot in the matter. Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, there was such a split between me and the festival management that a recommendation from me would probably have the exact opposite of what we wanted to achieve.
I hope, however, that you will still have the opportunity to see your wish for a production in Salzburg soon fulfilled. [...]"
