Dear friend,
The brother complex ought not to have upset your stomach. The evening did not come into being because Brill wished to be free of his burden as quickly as possible and therefore wanted to leave Monday morning. It is useless, however, to bring people together on Sunday, for everyone is then uncomfortable staying over. So I didn't do it. I will gladly satisfy your curiosity as to how things are here. We are quite exhausted and in considerable perplexity about the summer. We sent an advance guard, consisting of an aunt and two trifles,1 to Dr. Jekels in Bistrai, and the two elders then wanted to follow on August 1 and send the boys off to adventures in the meantime. But we found out that Bistrai doesn't have enough room, and nothing else is going right, either. The boys, including Martin, were unable to find lodging, and so I called it off with Jekels and am at a loss as to what to do. The both of us will probably go to a Dutch boardinghouse in the Hague with two boys and will do a bit of sightseeing in the cities until
