And even if you silently say to yourself that every [effort] is futile, send him anyway, so that my wife and my [Hans] Albert think something is being done against this evil. I am going to try to send 500 marks to Zurich. I would be very unhappy if I believed that I could have begotten valuable progeny with another woman.
