2. The Letters

Abstract

My dear Sigerist, It is perfectly mad of me, but I find I have Sudhoff’s Syphilis work perfectly safe after all. I had an idea that it was in proof form and I have been hunting everywhere for proofs. But I see that this is not the case. I have the typed document perfectly safe and will embark on it at once. Will you please explain to Wolff and Lier what has happened? The whole mistake arose from my thinking it was in proof form. I have nearly finished the 1493 Ketham, and you shall have the material in the first week in January. With best wishes from us both to you all for a happy Christmas. Yours ever, Charles Singer
