in Germany, if he distinguishes himself in England; only he should in time undertake some important and great work. The Cologne choir sing here from the 7th to the 21st of June. Eighty voices. It will be a great treat. Arrange so as to hear something of it. Carl is Secretary of Legation and Charge d'Affaires at Turin. George tills the ground, but not yet his own; but that will come some day, like the kingdom of heaven. Henry is preparing to collate the "Codex Claromontanus," and has already worked well on the imperfect text. Ernst arranges his garden and house, and has made a bowling-green for me.

Let me repeat what I wrote and underlined on the first page. It is a great trial of patience, but _be_ patient, that is, wise.
