Your most amiable and courteous letter[5] has given me the highest pleasure - both for the flattering warm expression of interest in my work, and for the hint conveyed of the great distinction the Regierung[6] so graciously intends to confer upon me. -
Nothing do I more keenly value than such flattering recognition - [p. 2] and I trust that you will convey report submit my emminent [sic] appreciation of the graceful honour proposed -
Believe me, hochverehte sir Accept I beg, hochverehte Geheimrath with my best wishes for the New Year - and my highest consideration -
