Dear Professor,

I received your book, The Masterwork,¹ on my return, around August 6, and have also taken note of the correction of my assertion. I can’t elaborate on it at the moment. For the time being, then, cordial thanks for your valuable gift! With warm greetings and wishes,

Yours,
[ sign’d: ] A. Halm
