| Contents | Warburg thanks her for a letter from Charlotte and Olga Warburg; he has found a good American dentist; Warburg has taken up smoking again; he is very happy with the news that Fritz Warburg has passed his exams; Fritz would always have suffered a 'the moral defeat' had he not passed his exams; thanks her for forwarding letters from his brothers in America; the 'Florentine colony', the Warburg family, [Robert and Philippine] Davidsohn, old Mrs. Kurz, were very much preoccupied with the affair E. Zola; no catastrophe can have more disastrous effects than 'this spectacle'of mob rule: a weak government, a corrupt parliament, soldiers lusting for power, a hysterical mob and a rule of law without conscience; supplies a version of the A. Dreyfus affair which has been told to him; [Major Marie Charles Ferdinand Walsin-] Esterhazy is not a traitor, but a scoundrel; on the French, the Jesuit generals, Zola; the French 'beast' wants to see blood; mentions 'the descendants of the Bartholomew slayers'; Warburg is working on the festivals in the court of Catherine, which preceded the events of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew [24/08/1572]; mentions 'full-blooded' Frenchmen [Lieutenant Colonel Charles] Picquart, [Fernand] Labori, Zola, [Edgar] Demange; it was the German and Levantine Jews who brought corruption; people like Mrs. Gzbg. [von Günzburg?] or the Porges mob are 'defectors', social climbers; Mrs. Porges had an audience with the Pope to discuss the baptism of her daughter who wants to marry an impoverished Italian prince; is pleased that the party in Hamburg went well, the Hirschs surely had a good time; [Aby and Mary] Warburg go out quite a bit but never had an invitation to a dinner party; thinks that the wedding present by aunt Théophilie [Warburg] is exaggerated; Mary sends greetings; she is very happy because the almond trees are in full bloom, anemones grow wild; they plan to spend much time in the open air, Warburg will take up tennis again; comments on Paul Warburg's letter; is pleased for [Moritz and Charlotte Warburg] that Panina [Paul and Nina Warburg] will return soon; is very happy that Fritz Warburg passed his exams; sends greetings to the whole family |
