I was very sorry not to have seen you yesterday before you left, because the
enclosed answer came from Westermann,
and I wanted to consult with you as to the steps to be taken.
I think a package ought to be made up at once for
Ferdinand Freiligrath, and we can send it through Westermann,
reimbursing him for any expense of transportation. I suppose it would be best to
have it done by my agency, and I suggest that I write F. F. a letter, (to go with
the package), explaining things generally, and making
him as far as possible, master
of the situation. What do you think? I am sorry I did not know you were going
yesterday, because we could have arranged it all better than now.
Preserve the enclosed. I think the sooner we do what is to be done (if anything) regarding F. F., the better.
I write hurriedly, just on the edge of mail
time. No letters for you today at the Attorney General's. I hope you'll have a
good time. Give my love to your mother. John came in yesterday
to bid me tell you to come up to his house before you left. I did not then know
you had gone. He will be disappointed.
Kindest regards to Mrs Price.
