I’ll have time, too, if we can get started soon. To that end, it seems right to me to speak with you tomorrow so that I can then, in accordance with your intentions, prepare for the first session”… Free translation: Of course, I’m very enthusiastic (art is an unpleasant sensation, but such a beautiful one). I’ll also have time, if we can start soon. That’s why I’m quite willing to speak with you tomorrow so that I can prepare for our first session, as you had planned. Finally, he thanks him for the “Russenfüseli.”
