Contents	thanks him for letter of 09/06/1897; attempts to dispel his doubts; both of them need 'to believe that God is stronger than the world or the devil'; people like Mary and Warburg cannot live without trusting the power of good; they are faced with a simple question: 'do we allow that the world gets us down or, knowing full well about our own weakness, do we believe in a divine power?'; despite all her shortcomings she thinks that life with her will not be that difficult; she will send him a proper birthday letter, without sermonizing; her brother John [Johann Nicolaus Hertz] is in Hamburg to attend the meeting of chemists so that she rarely sees him
