Dearest Cäcilie:
Two lines in haste! Minna is staying on at my request for two days more. Only then will she come to you. Will you be so kind as to inform Natalie in Dresden (in our apartment), so that she won't worry about Minna's delay. Soon you will hear more about me. Goodbye—and all my thanks for your love. A thousand greetings from
Your
R. W.
For the rest, don't be anxious. Minna herself has become convinced that I am perfectly safe.
