My dear Friend
The sight of your letter1 rejoiced me greatly & I think myself happy that I was so fortunate as to write on your birthday. May it very often return ever bringing with it peace & joy[.]
I hope for your sake to be useful to your friend Mr. Weiss.
By him I send Series XI, XII & XIII2 which you do me the honor to wish for. Series XVIII3 is already on the road to you, or perhaps by this time in your hands.
My time is limited but not my desire to hear of & from you[.]
