Summary
Explaining that there are corrections that need to be made to his "booklet" and that he will be happy to discuss them with him when he returns from vacation; agreeing "that getting you a position in Potsdam should not be attempted for the present. The Gen. Th. of Rel. must win acceptance among astronomers beforehand. But I have the feeling it won't be much longer now, unless completely unexpected things occur. The idea of a teaching assignment at the university quite appeals to me too, but probably won't be easy to realize either."
