Dear Professor,
Many thanks for your letter of July 27th. I was very glad to hear from Rank that you have already benefitted from your holiday and hope you will get great enjoyment from it.
A letter came from Brill yesterday, mirabile dictu, saying that he was leaving on the 23rd for a visit to you and me. I trust this repentance will not be a fleeting one and am sure you will exact conditions before accepting it completely. It comes too late for him to play the chief American part as regards the Journal, for, following your instructions, I arranged with Frink that all the editorial work there should pass through his hands. At the same time I am not altogether surprised by the news and am hopeful of good results from it. I am trying to catch Brill on his arrival, for I may have left for Germany before he would be sailing again, which reminds me: could you please let me know the exact date of the Hildesheim meeting,1 for travelling arrangements, tickets, visas etc. have to be arranged extraordinarily far in advance nowadays. Will it be from Sept. 23rd to 30th? I want to be back in England on Oct. 1st if possible.
I enclose a preface for the translation of the Jenseits which I hope you will approve of.2
The matter of the American editorship has been very tedious and I will describe it in the Rundbrief,3 but as it is now satisfactorily settled I will not bore you with it further.
