De László fell ill in Venice and was sent to recuperate in the Tyrolean mountains near Bolzano. Once recovered, he did some studies which give him "great pleasure now to possess".

He hopes Henry will postpone his marriage, and he is distressed about his brother's affairs. He thinks Münz's article is splendid
