Summary
Thanking him for the notes but saying that there is still something missing; listing the information he still requires; enclosing a letter from [Otto] Naumann and commenting that "Upon reconsidering the man, he actually appealed to me. He is one of those not used to relying on the authority of others but on his own judgment. As his own reasoning became rusty, he consequently had to reject everything he was no longer able to grasp entirely."
