Dear Moor, 

Peasant War” received with thanks. 

Be so good and write at once a few lines about how you are, if 
you have not done so already. Jenny‘ has heard from Longuet 
that your leg is not all it should be and she is so worried about it 
that yesterday she was talking about going back to see you. The 
sea is visibly doing her good, the bathing is also good for her and 
her cough is gone, as far as I can judge. Unfortunately, she is still 
suffering from insomnia somewhat, and I do not know what to do 
about that except to advise her to try and snatch a little sleep after 
meals, which she has just done with success.

In general, it would be good if you could write to her more 
frequently; you know how much she is attached to you. 

Your 
F. E.
