Scope and content
Zuckerkandl reminisces about his friendship and correspondence with Ritsema [references a “3-month-old letter,” likely from October 3, 1961] and thanks Ritsema for his friendship. Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn forwarded [Alfred] Portmann’s lecture [unspecified, presumably for Eranos 1961] to Zuckerkandl, who admires the document. He is very pleased to have been accepted into the Eranos circle as a contributing member. Zuckerkandl asks about a seminar Ritsema will be holding later that year [on his work on the I Ching] at Ascona and regrets that he cannot attend. Finally, he shares that times are challenging [at St. John’s College] but he hopes to be productive and that he and his wife [Marianne] are hoping to eventually relocate to Ascona. They will be back in Europe by summertime.
