My dear Friend,
I have just received your letter and Volume X [?] which you sent me. However, I cannot answer you in detail until after tomorrow or later, because I am engaged up to my neck in some prosaic work. For the present, I can only tell you how glad I am that you are going to Madrid. I do now know the book of Multatuli (pseudonym of Mulder?). I shall be very glad to know it because I want to go after the enemies of Noli me tángere. Then, I could probably use that book.
All right.[1]
Your faithful friend embraces you,
F. Blumentritt
