Contents	thanks him for a copy of Warburg's article on the Palazzo Schifanoia; hopes to receive Warburg's book on the topic soon; mentions Casimir von Chledowski's 'Der Hof von Ferrara', translated by Rosa Schapire, it is a magnificent volume, but the text is poor;Warburg would be the right man to write a superior history of culture; he met Warburg's brother Max in the German embassy in Prague, he had not seen him for 30 years; is happy that Max as banker has not changed; the situation is different in the house Ginzkey in Reichenberg; hopes that Warburg will stop sulking in a corner and return to Hamburg in the autumn; the building of a new library will be a bitter, but good medicine for him; on his own work, he had a bad time, the future for the museum looks bleak; he might end up as shelver in the Bibliothek Warburg; he enjoyed reading the two volumes of Lichtwark letters edited by [Gustav] Pauli; Schwedeler-Meyer is writing a book 'Die Entstehung des modernen Comfort, ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Civilisation'
