Scope and content
The sender [likely William McGuire, possibly Paul Wells] is sending Ritsema a copy of the 3rd edition of Ritsema’s I Ching and of Mnemosyne by Mario Praz [1970] as well as Praz’s contact information. The sender tells Ritsema it will be up to him to decide if Praz is suitable for Eranos. The sender also asks if Li Hutchinson ever sculpted a bust of Zuckerkandl and if he can be put in touch with her heirs. Ritsema is sending a copy of Vom musikalischen Denken, which may further help work on the second volume of Sound and Symbol [Man the Musician]. The sender mentions that Barral Editores asked for translation rights to Pagan and Christian Mysteries and asks if Ritsema can secure the information needed [second page missing].
