Contents	thanks him enthusiastically for coming to the library with his family; explains his work, his mission, his research, 'the transformation of Eastern contemplation into Western energetics'; speaks of the particular receptiveness, 'Seelenbeben', reverberating around the Mediterranean shore; feels that Adler not only understands him but also collaborates with him in his 'excavations' into the influence of classical antiquity; asks him to explain all this to his brothers in America, Paul, who can use helpful advice, and Felix, who is intellectually less prepared than Paul; he has asked Felix months ago to find him a copy of the Catalogue of Printed Books of the British Museum; Felix has never replied, possibly because he does not realize how important the purchase of this reference collection is for Warburg; has he heard of the Jewish catacomb in Villa Torlonia?; it had recently been photographed by H. Lietzmann and [Hermann Wolfgang] Beyer, from Greifswald; greetings to his wife and daughter Sarah
