ALS in German, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 8.5, April 24, 1884. Letter to Princess Marie von Württemberg, in part (translated): "Your Royal Highness has blessed me with such a gracious telegram on my birthday, that you must consider me an equally thankless, unalloyed mortal, to have received no thanks for your so gracious commemoration but I can only say a small thing, that what can not do my carelessness! Her telegram was one of the first which I received, and the following masses towered over it, so that in my illness, which was soon to follow, who kept me in bed for 4 days, I could not think of any writing nor work-shops." In fine condition, with old adhesive residue along bottom edges. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope.
