IX., Berggasse 19
Dear Wilhelm,
It makes me feel good to contemplate that you are now doing so well and can enjoy recalling a beautiful past without regretting that it is over. I do not want to disturb the idyll by giving you any discordant news, for example, about my difficult struggle with unyielding work. But then I have nothing further to report. All of us are well; we are still looking for lodgings in the country; my work load has not increased, as it did before Easter; I feel lazy and comfortable. In view of my diminishing income I have put aside a secret plan: to investigate what you have left over of Naples for me in September. If chance wills it, you will suddenly come upon my brother.
I hope to hear from you. Please convey my most cordial greetings to your traveling companion.
Your
Sigm.
