[London,] 1 August 1877 

Dear Bracke, 

I shall be leaving London at the end of this week or the 
beginning of next and going to the Continent since my state of 
health necessitates my taking a cure.*” In the meantime I have 
been forbidden work of any kind and you will therefore have to 
look elsewhere for someone to revise the translation of Lis- 
sagaray’s book,’ since without revision the thing’s unprintable. 
(C. Hirsch might be able to suggest someone to you.) 

Needless to say, Lissagaray finds the month’s hiatus, during 
which you have failed to communicate with him, far from edifying 
and I consider his grievance to be fully justified. 

Yours very sincerely, 

K. M.
