German term or phrase: eine Schoh danach
From a 1940 letter, written in Vienna by a Jewish woman to her sister and brother-in-law (Konrad) in New York:

Freuen würden wir uns, wenn er [Rabbiner Julius Max Bach] sein Versprechen Dir gegenüber, lieber Konrad, verwirklichen würde. Aber glauben werden wir daran erst "eine Schoh danach."

There is no additional context, as everything preceding and following these two sentences concerned other topics.

one hour afterwards
Explanation:
die Scho - eine Stunde: Jiddisches WB, Duden Taschenbücher.

> schoh with an 'h' as an alternative spelling, as in 'ich ka' scho(h)' = ich komme schon in Bayerisch that I happened to have once heard in Berchtesgarden, of all places.

Pity the matching Discussion Entry, albeit with a different and IMO phonetic spelling, couldn't have been posted as an answer but thanks everyone for 'waiting' for my answer.
