fic activities and admiration in your youthf ul strengt**, pro - 

 Ving itself thereinr, and the many iteras, which you constantly **ea4-> 

 about ^m'i which must be found, written, printed and corrected:. If I 

 had the physical endurance, and were the day three times as long,.I

Hermann Leonhard!" 

 Ihsert frora page 1 in very small i handwriting; 



Just as I wanted to seal I received very sad news about Karl 

 Shimper through Miss Wohlmann, who tended him (in Schwetzingen); Due to 

 fear from a serious injury (hit with a stone on the right arm In the 

 dark; whose perpetrator the court of investigatiorr in Baden could not 

 deterraine, though' one has ideas and points with fingers to subjects) 

 he suffers nervousness of the worst kind and has become careful 1 . 

 The mishap or fate caught him'- as he was just completing the nanuscriptr 

 of an important work,from which he may now be prevented. Won't you 

 put an article about it in the local paper,an admonition to the Baden 

 court, and an appeal to the friends of the Society, to contribute mo- 

 ney to protect the last days of his life,of the pcreatest scholar of 

 our time, and, through enough care perhaps save his life.
