16/29 April 1910
To prof. G. Peano, director of the International Academy of the Univeral language, in Turin
Esteemed director!
It is evident that I have become old: I am not able to help the new spirit in which you are leading the labours of the Academy. On the other hand, I see with great joy the new impulse which you have given to the life of the Academy by attracting a great number of collaborators. I do not want to disturb this life and the labours begun, for which I desire the greatest success; for this reason, I ask the Academy to liberate me from the obligations of vicedirector from 29 July 1910, when I will have had the honour of being vicedirector for 11 years. May this youthful force continue!
With great respect I remain your most devoted servant
V. Rosenberger
