Vienna IX, Berggasse 19
Dearest Lou,*
With great regret I hear from Anna that you can no longer hide from yourself what a disappointment Königsberg163 has been for you. Now I know how difficult it is to give advice and how wrong it is to give unsolicited advice. But it annoys me so much that you allow yourself to be so ruthlessly maltreated that I feel I must write to you. Naturally, the only thing I have to say is to warn you again that your present mode of life and work will lead inevitably to your destruction, a sequence which is particularly undesirable in your case. Perhaps it is worth while to preserve oneself for better times.
