Dear Professor,

So that we can settle the small matter that remains unresolved between us, please give me the pleasure of a visit from you, since experience makes it necessary for me, too, to ask you to provide me with something in writing [ handwritten: ] regarding possible further editions upon payment of the honorarium in question.1

With kind regards,
Yours truly,
