Dear Friend,
It was not I who sent you the telegram, at the time I had already been reassured by Deutsch by telephone, but I was glad to have received your telegram. I was delighted to hear that you see yourself as convalescent again—but be conscientious in that as well, for your own sake as well as ours.
We arrived here yesterday; overjoyed to be here in spite of the gales and the modesty of the natural surroundings. Everything is so comfortable and quiet, as is only appropriate to the old, it is a kind of Austragstüberl,1 if you know that Alpine expression.
My own state of health, which unfortunately is still a matter of interest to my friends, promises well. With truly angelic—or asinine—patience, my worthy physician dealt with all the complaints that disturbed the peace of my prosthesis until he got a tolerable result. Finally he paid me the parting compliment of saying that, considering my age and the troubles that I had been through, I was in “pretty smart condition”. I notice above all a reluctance to work and a need of rest.
The foundation in Teramo (Abruzzi)2 has surely been reported to you. Bianchini3 is asking for it to be publicized.
I have written a memorial for J. Breuer, which will appear in No. 2 of the .4 I exchanged cordial letters with the family and so brought my fateful relations with Breuer to a dignified conclusion.
Do not fail to keep me informed of the progress of your recovery. With good wishes to you and your family,
Yours,
