Palleske writes that he is preparing to travel to Paris; would like to see recipient en route. Has been busy dealing with mail, manuscripts of young dramatists and queries by publishers addicted to Shakespeare. Has studied Kreysig and has now a clearer idea of his own plans besides having learnt that Shakespeare is the author of sonnets, too. Will buy Bodenstedt [B.'s Shakespeare edition?]; is glad, however, that recipient has not conveyed Bodenstedt's greetings. Recipient's review of Hamlet was not printed, but Palleske would like to see the manuscript. His wife is not well; will meet her in Dresden on his return journey.
