BERLIN, December 14.
Dear Emma--You will be greatly surprised at receiving a letter from
me in spite of our mutual agreement, but do not fear that I have
any intention of opening a correspondence with you. Our relations
terminated with all possible dignity, and the sealed door shall never
be reopened. I have but to ask a simple question which you alone can
answer. What is the name of the man to whom you sent my fur coat last
spring? Lina has forgotten the address. Hoping soon to receive an
answer, for which I thank you in advance,
