Minna
 As I perused a copy of Thomas Moore s Irish Melodies, bequeathed to me, with some more favourite books (E nglish and German classics), by my late friend Harold Fenger, I found this exquisite inscription strongly underlined with pencil. So I thought it fit to place it as a motto at the head of these recollections of his love-story, the manuscript of which he confided to my care before he died in London. His death, I am half-happy, half-sorry to say, took place not many Qc years after he had lost his beloved Minna. Indeed the fear cwhich she mentioned in her letter to Stephensen, that Fenger schest was not strong, proved to be less unfounded than he S? himself supposed. It was also thought probable by his doctor 01 that the heart-wound, of which these pages tell, added fuel to C9 the complaint from which he was already suffering. wKARL GJELLERUP. ut t; DRESDEN, August (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
