| Contents | postal order; regrets not having been able to travel, he had to finish much work and is angry about [Alfred] Lichtwark, 'the false house prophet'; in public Lichtwark treats him like a colleague, but in private talks with malice about Warburg; Warburg was very successful with his lecture 'Dürer und die Italienische Antike' on the occasion of the '48. Versammlung deutscher Philologen und Schulmänner', but Lichtwark used the occasion to contradict him; whereas in Italy everybody looks like a bandit and sometimes people are decent, in Germany everybody looks decent but the same percentage of people behaves badly; encourages Dwelshauvers to write the biography of Eliseo Réclus, does not understand where Réclus got his courage from, how he kept his classical wisdom in 'our world of distance destroying machines'; what are the news from [Giovanni] Poggi?; Warburg has written to him, whether he wants an article for 'Rivista' and that Warburg would pay for the printing costs; thanks Dwelshauvers for planning to write an article about Warburg's work; will send him a copy of the supplement of 'Allgemeine Zeitung'; what has Poggi replied to Pagliacco Chiappelli, calls him a 'fool' and Dwelshauvers's 'Lichtwark'; nobody believes anybody else in Italy, the sign of the old culture of augury; Davidsohn has left the Local Committee of the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, which is really a shame; Dr. [Walter] Bombe seems to reign supremely; sends greetings to his wife and son Lorenzone |
