Thanks Knorr for both her letter and her new volume of poems, which he has been reading "with delight." Quotes "those admonitory works of Shakespear" ("The flighty purpose never is o'ertook/ Unless the deed go with it." (Macbeth Act IV, scene i)). He has also received the two volumes of Graf Wickenburg, but he requests that Knorr relay the message of his thanks, since he does not have Wickenburg's address. With envelope addressed to Knorr, 1 Wollzeile 1er Stock, Vienna, Austria.
