Dear Achates,
I will leave the title-page to you and Mr. Hennell. <I think what you suggest will do very well.> 622 And yet I do not know how we can put anything better than what you say. Thanks for the news in your last extra Blatt. I am glad to find that the theological organs are beginning to deal with philosophy but I can hardly imagine your writer to be a friend with a false cognizance on his shield. These dear orthodox people talk so simply sometimes that one cannot help fancying them satirists of their own doctrines and fears though they mean manfully to fight against the enemy.
Farewell, tea calls.
Pollian.
