Excerpt from Waldfried: A Novel
In a letter bringing me his greetings for the New Year, 1870, my eldest son thus wrote to me from America:
We have been sorely tried of late. Wolfgang, our only remaining child, lay for weeks at death's door. I avoided mentioning this to you before; but now he is out of danger.
In a letter bringing me his greetings for the New Year, 1870, my eldest son thus wrote to me from America:
We have been sorely tried of late. Wolfgang, our only remaining child, lay for weeks at death's door. I avoided mentioning this to you before; but now he is out of danger.
'Take me to your father in the forest, ' were the first distinct words he uttered after his illness. He is a lusty youth, and inherits his mother's hardy Westphalian constitution.
In his feverish wanderings, he often spoke of you, and also of a great fire, in strange phrases, none of which he can now recall.
He has awakened my own heartfelt desire to return, and now we shall come. We have fully determined to leave in the spring. I lose no time in writing to you of this, because I feel that the daily thought of our meeting again will be fraught with pleasure for both of us.
Ah, if mother were still alive! Oh, that I had returned in time to have seen her!
