(Your kind letter this morning received; as to Old Grand Kant your battle word or catchword (to my satisfaction) appears to be: ‘Cant — or Cantor’ Quite well!
Farewell!
G.C.
For next week I have for the Naturforscherversamlung and Mathematiker vereining promised a little speech: “Ueber die Frage der Möglichkeit einer Erwellerung des Feldes der angewendten Mathematik”.
With my dear son Eric, as circumstances allow, it goes quite well. His lungs are sound and healthy. He has no fever! A week passed on, he goes with his young wife to Meran. His spitting of blood has been caused by overwork, and vaccinating.
