Dear revered friend, 1

Kalmus asked me to come on Tuesday. Please be patient for a few more days. – At the wine tavern, Hoboken said goodbye to the architect 2 and Dr. Schmid (who did not know each other), and to me. More soon. In the next few days, I shall transfer my library downstairs again.


Best greetings from the two of us to the two of you! In heat, 3
