of the author and I only darkly remember the name Chapman. Could you help me to get 

 me on the right track° I did not find him in our literature announcements or may be 

 I overlooked him. 



And now teil me how you and your dear wife and George are. My whole household 

 asks you to let us hear from you again. I also hope that you are not much involved 

 in this terrible civil war on both sides. We know ourselves how these things are. 

 The future of Austria will change certainly with the help of all these liberal men. 

 As a man of science, I only see a possible eure for us German-Aus trians which would 

 mean to be included into Germany, whoever might rule. The core of the country is 

 rotten, lawless to the highest degree and the feelings for the government are bitter 

 and the hate of all Prussia is heightened by the war. ... If I could only pack up, 

 I would leave my beloved Austria rather today than tomorrow. However, enough of this. 



Everybody in my house is busy now since my oldest daughter is going to be married 

 after New Year. My son-in-law is a very nice youngf* hardly thirty years old, of medium 

 height and apart from his salary which he reeeives. from his position as curator of 

 the mineral collection, he also has some income from private lectures at the University 

 and he has a very honest character. The two young people are happy and satisfied to 

 live in modest circumstances. May the heaven give his blessing. They will need it in 

 these difficult times. 



And now fare well, write to me when you feel like it and teil me how you all fared 

 in the meantime. I embrace you with all my heart and please aeeept the greetings of 

 my entire household, 



Your friend 

 E. Fenzl.
