Scarce English language TLS signed “Hermann,” one page, 8.5 x 11, March fortnightly for German culture letterhead, no date. Letter to his sister. In part: “I must pack up and send away my luggage for India, India, so it was impossible for me to come to you before…My English learning is not progressed as much as I wished. I shall want to learn still a great deal on the steamer, and at Singapore I shall be forced to learn also a little Malay!” Central horizontal and vertical fold, a couple small holes and separations along central vertical fold, a uniform shade of light toning, and pencil date of August 1911 at top, otherwise fine condition. His marriage in trouble, Hesse left alone for a long trip to Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Any spiritual inspiration that he was looking for eluded him, but the journey made a strong impression on his literary work. Letters in English by Hesse are quite uncommon.
