London, 29 January 1892 

Dear Hermann, 

It is often said of women that what they really have to say never 
goes into the letter but into the postscript. But we old buffers are in 
even worse case—for hardly was yesterday’s letter* in the post when 
I remembered the most important thing of all. Namely that, in 
strange contrast to the surplus of cash on the London money market, 
I am suffering from a slight shortage of that article and, since I can 
only expect small dividends up till 1 March, I should be grateful if, 
some time soon, you could send me some £30 of the balance you hold 
on my behalf. Then I shall make out quite well; between March and 
June money will again be coming in at a brisk pace. 

Love from 

Your 
Friedrich
