Dearest
Max, my last request:
everything that can be found in my posthumous papers (thus in
boxes, cupboards, desks, at
home and in the office, or wherever else they may be that you come upon them) of diaries, manuscripts, letters,
my own and those written to me, sketches and so on, should be burned unread and without remnant,
even all the written or drawn things that you or others have, that you might have asked for in my name. If there are letters that people
will not turn over to you, at least they should promise to
burn them themselves.”
