Scope and content

Zuckerkandl expresses his gratitude towards Fröbe-Kapteyn and promises to dedicate his next publication to her. He is thinking about moving to Ascona in the fall. Zuckerkandl is convinced Yehudi Menuhin and his sister belong at Eranos and urges Fröbe-Kapteyn to reach out to them. Zuckerkandl speaks about Ursula Knoll’s death [likely Max Knoll’s mother] and how he and his wife Marianne spent time with her in Munich. Zuckerkandl says that [Max] Knoll would have been very touched to have been personally invited by Fröbe-Kapteyn to participate at the next conference. Mentions that a cheaper aspirin is helping his wife with her pain, and he is happy to hear that [Rudolf] Ritsema and the Hutchinsons [Li Osborne (later, Louise Hutchinson) and William Dodge Hutchinson] are in Ascona.
