It is kind in you, and veryhumane, dear friend, sending me that little pamphlet,[21]which otherwise would certainly have escaped my attention. The praise which you bestow on it is of great weight, as you understand so well sketching a life-portrait and adorning it gracefully, without discoloring its characteristic traits. Kries is one of my earliest friends. We were students together in Heyne’s Seminary.[22]I will return the print very soon.

In great haste,A. Humboldt.
