In haste: just to let you know that you will receive your 120 Marks again through the Deutsche Bank Berlin. (The money from Cotta arrived just now!) 2 I shall not get round to writing you a letter until the first days of October; this will bring you quite interesting news. Cordial greetings to you and yours, and best wishes for the new teaching year, from Lie-Liechen and me
