My dear Professor Quidde,
I think Getrud Baer has written you that it is impossible for me to come to Berlin on September 11th as we had planned. I was seriously ill for several days in England and the doctor insisted that [if] I remained Europe at all, I should have to do very little speaking and live the life of an invalid. This medical verdict was confirmed by a doctor whom we later saw in Paris so that I have no choice in the matter but to carry out these instructions. I so very much regretted that I did not see you while you were in the U.S.A. It adds to my disappointment that I shall not be able to see you in Berlin and know more intimately something of the work in the [Deutsches] Friedenskartell.
I hope you don’t find it even more inconvenient that this notice has come so late. I should have cabled from England but I [had] always hoped to be able to start on my tour on the 10th of September.
