August 19/September 1, 1908
To Prof. G. Peano, currently in Heidelberg,
Esteemed Sir,
I have just returned from the countryside to the city and found your letter dated August 25.
I hasten to respond that the latest circular (No. 93) from the Director of the International Academy of the Universal Language was dated May 11 (but was received here on July 7)A; you probably know this circular, in which you are proposed as the sole candidate for the position of director for the next five-year term. Without a doubt, you have been selected, but Mr. Holmes' circulars have appeared very rarely and very slowly this past year.
I have not yet received any communication about the selection, but I know that the academicians with whom I have corresponded recently are all very happy that you have not refused to accept the potential selection. I hope that in the future the labours of the Academy will proceed much faster than it has these past years.
Best wishes for success in Heidelberg! Respectful and cordial greetings to Prof. Couturat from your most devoted servant,
Rosenberger
Write to me always at: St. Petersburg, V. O. Bolshoy 5!

NOTES:
NOTES:
1 Though ultim can be translated “last”, in certain phrases it is better rendered “recent” as in in temp ultim (lit. in the last time), which is more properly rendered recently or of late (cf. German in der letzten Zeit, Fr. dernièrement).
