My dearest Heinrich!
1
Have just arrived in Vienna. A sad
call brought me here. Eduard is lying,
without hope of recovery, in the Sophienspital. I must be present, and am commuting between the apartment and the
hospital. I must see you! Please come, if
2
you can, when
you can. I can receive you at any time; I only have to be
in the vicinity of the hospital.
Most intimate greetings to you and Lie-Lie.
Your faithful
