Esteemed Friend, 



After the Charnceen (?) of Bernhardi's came back 



on the 7th of last month, I reeeived yesterday a second letter with an enclosure 

 for you, to be given to you upon your arrival. I am giving you the essential 

 contents of it. Prof. Braun' s family, as you probably know, was afflicted 

 with scarlet fever and the second son Hermanj^as a result of <x\\^(V\ Ok^ Ä on 

 the brain, died very unexpectedly, and the whole family was thereby thrust 

 into deepest sorrow. 



Since Prof. Braun b^tcfaA yo^ l?are aSftoJy f £ V^n/ to g ive vou 



this Information. The letter and various other things which Braun sent, 

 you will reeeive. 



Respectfully, 

 Your devot ed, 

 G. Mettenius
