Basel,[1] 3 June 1887 | |

My very dear Friend, We arrive here today and tomorrow we leave for Geneva. I received your affectionate post card and as soon as I am in Geneva resting, I shall write Messrs. Willkomm and Nordmann.[2] If I have not done it yet, it is because I would like to write them something more serious than a letter written during the trip. With you I can permit myself to write careless letters, for you know how to excuse any fault of mine and to see everything we do through a cheerful optimistic crystal. I wish you all good health, including Mr. Willkomm.
