Your "yesterday's," to which you refer, unfortunately has not reached me, but I thank you for yours of to-day.
I am hoping to see you soon in Zurich, whether before or after the Carlsruhe performances. Our patient is getting better day by day; still, we are entering the 8th week now, and his strength returns but slowly. Nevertheless we are hoping that this crisis may have paved the way for a beneficial change in Otto's general health, which long had left much to be desired; and in that we are supported by the verdict of the doctors.
Now, auf Wiedersehen in good earnest, and greetings from all the heart of
Your Mathilde Wesendonck.
