something like that, if for
no
other
reason
than because I
am sure
that
my
parents
are
incapable
of
acting
in such
a
way.
I have
put
Mama
to
the test.
My
parents
are
very
distressed about
my
love for
you,
Mama often cries
bitterly
&
I
am
not given
a
single
undisturbed
moment here.
My
parents
mourn
for
me
almost
as
if I had died. Again
and
again they
wail to
me
that I
brought
disaster
upon
myself by
my
promise
to you,
that
they
believe that
you
are
not
healthy........
oh,
Doxerl,
this is enough to drive
one
crazy! You wouldn't believe.how I
suffer when I
see
how both of them love
me
and
are so
disconsolate
as
if I
had committed the
greatest
crime
&
not done what
my
heart
and
my
conscience
irresistibly
prompted
me
to
do. If only they would know
you! But
they
are as
if bewitched
&
think that this is what I
am.
On
Saturday I
am
going
on
the
trip
with Papa,
to
Venice too. I
was so
sad,
that I didn't
want to
go
with
him; but
this alarmed them
so
terribly
that I
got quite
scared.
I'll only
be able to
recover
from this vacation
gradually
in
your
arms
-
there
are worse
things in life than
an
exam.
Now I know it.
This is
worse
than the difficulties in the world.
My
only distraction is studying, which
I
am now
doing
with
twice
as
much love
&
and
my
only hope
is
you, my
dear faithful soul.
Without the
thought
of
you
I would
not
want
to
live
any
longer
in this
sorry
human crowd. But
possessing
you
makes
me
proud
&
your
love
makes
me
happy. I will be doubly happy when
I
can press you
to
my
heart again and
see
your
loving
eyes
which shine for
me
alone,
and
kiss
your
dear mouth, which trembled in bliss for
me
alone.
Thank God that
August crept
past.
Only
4
more
weeks, and then
we
are
united
again
and
can
live to please each other. But then I'll not
let
you go
so soon
again!
I
am
spending
many
evenings
here at Michele's.
I
like him
very
much because of his
sharp
mind and his
simplicity,
&
also Anna
and,
especially,
the little brat. His house is simple and
cozy,
even
though the details show
some
lack of
taste.
Kissing
you
from the bottom of his heart,
your
Sweetheart
Friday.
So,
tomorrow
we are
leaving
for the
trip,
but
we
will
be back
in
a
week,
so
just keep sending
me
your
little letters.
Luigi
A[nsbacher]
might
come
to visit
us.
For the
investigation
of the Thomson effect I have
again
resorted
to
another method, which has
some
similarities with
yours
for the
determination of the
dep[endence] of
K
on
T
&
which indeed
presupposes
such
an
investigation.
If
only
we
could
already
start tomorrow! With
Weber
we
must try
to
get
on
good
terms
at all costs, because his
laboratory is
the best
and
the best equipped.
Kissing
you
tenderly,
your
Albert
How
is
your
little neck?
I
am
investigating
the
following interesting problem
for Michele: How
does the radiation of electric
energy
into
space
take place in the
case
of
a
sinuisoidal alternate current? About the amplitude of the
waves
produced
as a
function of the frequency of vibration, etc.
