Lieber Herr Kollege! Wie herrlich dieser Sonnenschein mit den Höhen des Schwarzwalds, die Sie mit den Ihrigen hoffentlich noch ausgiebig durchwandern. Ordentlich beruhigend wirkt bei mir dabei der Gedanke, daß die schöne Harmonie der Gebirgsnatur durch mein altes Kollegstift füglich gekürt wird. Möge Ihre nächste Hüttentour sogar, daß es im Koffer bleibt. Das schütteln Sie ja doch alles nie schöner aus dem Ärmel. Wie fruchtbar die Kunst jetzt an Malers Sonne; man darf nicht daran denken. - - -
Herzliche Grüße Ihres ergebensten C. Engler

Dear Colleague,
This sunshine in this altitude of the Black Forest, which you and your family will hopefully hike through extensively, is wonderful. The thought that my former colleague is enjoying the beautiful harmony of the mountains has a very calming effect on me. I hope you can take your memories of your journey home with you! You can never plan such a trip in a better way! Art is flourishing now in the painter's sun. I must not think of it.
Warm regards.
Yours sincerely,
C. Engler
