Leonhardi k n e c. 31,1873 



To begln wlth, he has asthraa and and suffers from gasto-intes- 

 tlnal problems, therefor also suffering fron heart and f ilibrations. 

 He forewent in favor of Stritz the senlority (posltlon ? E.D.),whioh 

 he could have obtained now. Obviously lt would be good for him.to let 

 hiraself be pensioned. He could be raentally alert and. become useful lrr 

 a literary way. But, in order to be able to help his relatives,, he 

 will not renounce the source of an income.. That Ludwig' s son is a 

 Professor in Leipzig, and that thanks to brilliant lectures he has raany 

 students, you have probably heard already. About 88 ladies from Prank- 

 furt have formed an associatiorr, followin* the example of those from- 

 Kassel, to bring down the usuriously inflated prices at the market. 

 ( In Dresden too is such an association, and that under leadership- of 

 lady Americans). When they first got together, there appeared uninvitetf 

 also the market huxters.who wanted to decide their problem with blows, 

 but at the end, they had to retreat. - Besides that I know nothing 

 from there with exception, that the updating of the Frankfurt philo- 

 sophical Community shows itself, in that for 3 years already Roder has 

 been invlted by the by comraercial organizations in Frankfurt, Of f en- 

 bach 1 , Mainz, Worms, Speler and Mannheim^ and even in his birthplace 

 Darmstadt, to hold lectures every wlnter. - In Darmstadt I lost during 

 the summer my old friend, the theologian Krug through typhoid. 



My work on Chorarom (?? E.D. ) I cannot get to.and oannot even 

 think about now, Would only Brauer ( from whom I had almost slmulta- 

 neously with Drunnen news from Berlin) bring his end to termination.. 

 He is now aprain stronger.but at an age, when he could be gone sudden- 

 ly. In fact, I learned only on the last day we were there, that a Mr. 

 William Palm was llving in a section of the city much renoved from 

 my doraicile. There is not enough tlme left to convince me, lf it was 



(whose I did not accept),as both are 



now d aad . .
