I return to town, and stay probably
(at Ernest's) till my things are sold. _Cura ut valeas._

What is the original meaning of _glauben_, to believe?

ST. LEONARD'S, _Wednesday, May 24, 1854._

You have done wonders; and I hope you will rest yourself. A thousand
thanks. I have at once sounded an alarm. I go to-day to town; Fanny and
her two daughters will embark on Sunday morning: we have taken a house
from the 1st of July, on the Neckar. I hope you will soon make your
appearance there. George goes into the country to-morrow on business. I
stay with Ernest till Hippolytus is out.

The snare is broken, and the bird is free; for which let us bless the
Lord. As they once let me out of my cage, they shall not catch me again.
My fifth book is ready for printing, down to the general philosophical
article. Johannes Brandis, the Assyrian chronologist, arranges for me the
synchronistic tables from Menes to Alexander.

Greetings to Aufrecht. I have not yet received the impression of the text,
which he restored from the Codex.

ABBEY LODGE, REGENT'S PARK, _Friday, June 9, 1854._

Your letter came just when wanted, my dearest friend. My wife and children
leave the house to-morrow; and I follow them a week later, on account of
Spottiswoode. Come here then to-morrow morning, and stay at least till
Monday: so my daughter-in-law Elizabeth begs, who herself goes to Upton.
George, Brandis, and I help Ernest to keep house this week.

I have _to-day_ sent to press the "Resolutions and Statements on the
Alphabet" which you wrote, with Lepsius's not "amendments" but certain
explanations on his part, and my now English "recapitulations." I shall
receive the first impression to-morrow evening. Lepsius has sent a long
Essay, of which I only print the "Exposition of the System," with some
"specimens of application."

You should rejoice, as I do, over "Hippolytus VII., Christianity and
Mankind, their Beginnings and Prospects," in seven volumes (also as three
separate works).

I shall easily finish it. Also "Egypt II." is publishing; I have written a
new Preface to it. The "Theologia Germanica" is waiting for you; one copy
for my dear M., and one for Dr. Thomson, whose address I don't know.
Spottiswoode has vowed to have _all_ ready next week. If you could stay
here, and revise your sheets at once, I might believe the vow.

We have secured a beautiful house in Heidelberg (Heidt-weiler), on the
right bank, o
