Honourable Sir,
With great pleasure I received your big esteemed gift and your kind letter. My most respectful thanks for your charity. I also thank you very much for the great interest you take in my studies. Helas, I have to tell you that in consequence of the unfortunate end of the war, I had to give up my beloved studies and to take up another profession that would give me my earning. It was a luck to me that my brother owned as a publisher and bookseller a business I could join. So I will not be in to a great distance from books that always gave me the best hours of my life. In my leisure time I will study your learned book and I think it will give me much comfort in this miserable world. I hope for a better existance in the next life, because I can't belive as most people here do, that death ends life. That's never true. Your book will help me in this direction. With all good wishes,
Your devoted, J. LABER
