A s. prof. G. Peano in Turin
Sinior multe estimed!
Mersi pro postkart datu 30 oktobr. Adres no esav totale korekt: mie loji av numr 9 e no 2. Istkos es irelevant; ma it es multe important adresar no a S. Peterburg, ma a St. Petersburg V. O., kause du stradi eksist ko ist sem nom; ergo on deb indikar parti de urb: V.O. Vo av skribed sole S. Peterburg e votr kart shershav mi tri diurni!! Mi preg denove adresar sempre S.Petersburg, V.O.
Mi es multe kontent, ke vo av truved ko s. Monseur ekspedient pro konservasion de statuti. Mi voluav ekslaborar tal proyekt; sitempe it no es neses. Nom „membr korespondant” es bon. Mi pensav nomar membri statutik „membri aktiv” e otri „membri konsultativ”. Ma — kuale vo volu!
Vo es rekt, ke it fasi impresion mal, ke plusior personi av refused akseptar selektasion eventual pro ofis de direktor. Impresion eserio minu mal, if s. Holmes averio indiked lor motivi. Ist nekorektitet esav fasied frekuente per s. Holmes!
Ke Akademi funksion male — no es kaus de Akademi, ma de sie direktor. Mi es multe kontent ke it resivero direktor plu ferv! Ava ankor kelk pasiens! Mi no konos, kekause sirkular di votr selektasion mank ankor; probable s. Holmes av kelkun kaus. Sidiurne mi av skribed denove a il e a s. dr. med. E. W. Earle, sekretar de Akademi.
Ko saluti respektos votr leplu devot

To Prof. G. Peano in Turin
Highly esteemed Sir!
Thank you for the postcard dated 30 October. The address was not completely correct: I live at number 9 and not 2. This detail is irrelevant; however, it is very important not to address it to S. Petersburg, but to St. Petersburg V. O., because there are two streets with the same name; therefore, one must indicate the part of the city: V.O. Since only S. Petersburg was written, your card sought me for three days! I kindly ask you to always address it to St. Petersburg, V.O.
I am very pleased that you found have found with Mr. Monseur a solution for conserving the statutes. I wanted to develop such a project; now it is no longer necessary. The term “corresponding member” is good. I thought of calling statutory members “active members” and others “consultative members.” But — as you wish!
You are right, it makes a bad impression that several people refused to accept the possible selection for the position of director. The impression would be much less serious if Mr. Holmes had indicated their reasons. This inaccuracy has often been committed by Mr. Holmes!
That the Academy functions poorly is not the fault of the Academy, but of its director. I am very pleased that it will receive a more diligent director! Please have a little more patience! I do not know why the circular about your selection is still missing; probably Mr. Holmes has some reason. Today I have written again to him and to Dr. E. W. Earle, secretary of the Academy.
With respectful greetings, your most devoted
Rosenberger
