From Ernst Krause1 7 February 1880
Hochverehrter Herr!
Es fällt mir ein, dass Sie den Text des malitiösen Angriffs vielleicht noch zur Vergleichung nöthig haben könnten, und ich beeile mich deshalb, Ihnen denselben zurückzusenden.2 Ich hatte es gestern vergessen.3
In herzlicher Ergebenheit | Ihr | Ernst Krause
