Dear Professor,
While Daughter-Anna was here, I thought: now she will write to you about everything, and afterwards I shall do so—but instead of that I sit about here and can only lament her departure. In April her visit seemed merely a prelude to July, and in July it was quite definitely merely a prelude to a visit at some more settled time of year. We never got down to anything beyond some discussions in among the raspberry bushes, although we were actually in an immensely diligent mood. But from meeting to meeting things will get better and better, and the more grimly the world threatens to plunge to its doom, the merrier we shall be!
I hope the sun is shining upon you in Berchtesgaden. Here it is absent as usual. Your wife especially has an inalienable right to some warm dry weeks after the cold wet weather we have been having. I was delighted to see her again, even if just for a short time, especially since she will not be with you in Berlin, as I had assumed. Please tell her that the glorious yellow flowers are now blooming in
