Hermann Leonhard! Prag Dec. 31, l&fl 



Dear Georg I 



I would hatoe liked to write an entire series of letters, which 

 sin.ce ages have always been delayed, but the time for that is no nore, 

 only a few are still possible. and thus I will greet the old friend of 

 our youth; as I wanted already, when our dear Julius was torn from us 

 so unexpectedly., Hopefully, you are strong with your beloved oneff,, 

 and has time for scientific activities. I was taken with German mea- 

 sles and water blisters simultaneously last summer and remained very 

 weak for a long time. Slowly I regain strength again f > Thus it happened, 

 that during the last year I brought forth only one volume of ,f die neue 

 Zeit'* (The new Time.E.D. ) , whioh was ready for print before. By the way, 

 the enterprise 1s newly secured, I shall! get the volume to you. There 

 are in it from the handwritten posthumous items of Krause teaching? 

 questions about the commandments of humanity and about the belief of 

 humanity, which have already been translated into 4 languages. Recent- 

 ly the depth, clarity, and strict loglc of Kause was underllned in 

 the New York weekly "Methodist" , in which his works, "New Critique of 

 Reason" and the "Knowledge of God" were recomnended for studyfor 

 those interested in philosophy as the part of philosophy leading to 

 the hisrhest limits of science. You have in St. Louis a widely dis- 

 tributed pbilosophical publication; up to now mostly in the vein of 

 Hegel. For whitsuntide we had a meeting in Dresden (where I caught 

 the sickness) for the founding of the Allgemeine Erziehungsvereirr 

 ( General Society for Education, E. D. ) ; it was a philosophical con- 

 gress in miniature.. Most likely is the reason for all this t that I 



received from your secretary an annual report about 



the education system ( a thick volume in English),and recently fronr 

 St. Louis a volume of an annual report in German. Of course, I have 

 only been able to scan the Material on the surface..
