Scope and content
Ritsema explains that in order for any negotiations over Zuckerkandl’s contract with Rhein-Verlag for the [1963] conference broadcast to happen, they need his signature in person. He goes on to explain details of a new agreement over rights with the radio broadcasters as they relate to attendees and their spoken language. The agreement so far entitles a third of the profits to Rhein-Verlag and two thirds to Eranos to cover the costs of the conference and to distribute among the lecturers. Rhein-Verlag is allowing the lecturers to accept this new agreement or a prior one contracted for previous broadcast conferences. Ritsema invites Zuckerkandl to stay a few days after the conference and relates that his wife [Catherine Gris] invited Ernest Ansermet to attend the conference and gave him a copy of “Die Tongestalt.” Ansermet expressed great interest in Zuckerkandl’s work but will not be able to attend the conference. Ritsema sends greetings to Zuckerkandl and his wife [Marianne].
