Google translate gives the German text as reading: "As already reported in a postcard dated February 11, I found a star of magnitude 10 to 11 in the small spiral nebula H II 318 = NGC 2608 [1860.0 8h26m7 +28° 56'] on the six-inch images taken on February 8; this star is missing from older images, so it may be a nova."
