Thank you very much for receiving the Pagenstecher’s^[1] from Wiesbaden so cordially and also for having shown Stoddard in Meran the attention that I desired.^[2] But also a word about what Mrs. Pagenstecher has written to me so that you are in the know. And to that end I send you her letter to me.^[3] Also the letter of her stepfather, Dr. Fleischer.^[4] Evidently, you can be assured of not having to stay in a hotel if you should one day go to Wiesbaden – where you have already been some years earlier – to recuperate or for a cure. And as I, too, will not have to stay in a hotel, we could arrange to meet there one day.

Bonn^[5] where ten years ago I spent an autumnal month as a guest and picked raspberries in the park.

I was pleased to hear good things about your boy Patrick.^[6] But why does he never let me know how he is? I also hope that Johnny^[7] has a good time at his school.

I am, dear friend, sending you my warmest greetings and ask you to convey my devotion to Mrs. de Laszlo, Your faithfully devoted,

Sigmund Münz
