'Lieber Bruder! Soeben erhalte ich folgende Depesche vom Generaldirector der Berliner Bibliothek. 'Bin ermächtigt, zwanzig tausend Mark für Ihre Sammlung anzubieten. Antwort an die Bibliothek'.
Ich habe mich sofort einverstanden erklärt. Die groszen Sorgen haben also noch rechtzeitig ein Ende genommen. Ich werde nunmehr die Wechsel einlösen, sobald ich das Geld in Händen haben werde, ... werde meine Schuld bei Euch bezahlen.
Überdiesz werde ich einen groszen Theil des Geldes Euch leihen. Siegmund studiert für seine weiteren Prüfungen & die er noch bis Juli beendigen wird. Grüszt mir die Ältern u. alle Übrigen. ... Euer Eduard'
Short description:
Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) informs his elder brother Alois (1853-1931) that the Director General of the Royal Library in Berlin sent him a telegram with reads as follows: 'Am authorized to offer you 20,000 marks for your collection. Reply to the library .'
He reports that he immediately agreed to this offer, which means that 'the big worries have come to an end in time' and reveals his intentions regarding the use of the money he will receive from the sale of his collection of Arabic manuscripts from his second trip to Yemen (April 1885 - February 1886)...
