Dear Leypoldt:
You have not forgotten that nearly two years ago, before ourbusiness connection was thought of, this identical translation was'respectfully declined' by you with that same courtesy, the exerciseof which in frequent similar cases, each one of us now tries so hardto shove on the other's shoulders. I hope that your surprise onreading this note of dedication will not interfere with your forgivingthe pertinacity with which, through it, I still strive to make thebook yours.
