Dear Sir,

I hasten once again to confirm with you explicitly the terms of the contract of December 1905,1 which have in fact already been mentioned several times, according to which2 I have to bear the costs of vol. II also.3

Many thanks for the prognosis of March of April for the volume.

With kind regards,
