You are either sailing on a calm and peaceful sea or are already in a safe haven [Anderson footnote: “Gleichenstein was about to become, or had become, engaged to be married to Anna Malfatti.”] – You do not feel the anguish of a friend who is struggling against a tempest – or perhaps you are not allowed to feel it – What will be thought of me in the star of Venus Urania, and how shall I be judged without being seen – My pride is humbled; and even if you had not invited me I would travel there with you – Let me see you at my rooms tomorrow morning. I shall expect you for breakfast at about nine o’clock – Dorner can come with you some other time – If you would only be more candid; surely you are concealing something from me, and you want to spare me; and you are causing me greater pain by leaving me in this uncertainty than if you were to disclose a certainty, however disagreeable it may be – All good wishes. If you cannot come, let me know this in advance – Think and act for me – I dare not entrust to paper anything more of what I am thinking and feeling –
