Sends copy of a letter from Heinrich Zahn from New Guinea about pitches in the Papua languages. Looks thus relationship to the Central African languages confirmed.
Reported from a find [Heinrich] Vedders: quiver, bow and arrow from South Africa.
Send him an essay by A[rnod] van Gennep for evaluation. Thanks for "Peoples Psychology." Agrees above all with the concept of soul depth. Rejects Wundts interpretation of the resurrection idea with reference to Paul. Reported from work [Diedrich] Westermanns.
Asked whether Wundt could support the Leipzig Philosophical Faculty in awarding [Diedrich] Westermann an honorary doctorate.
Thanks for "people psychology", which in his opinion corrects some wrong ideas, especially in linguistics. Together with his friend [Diedrich] Westermann he made discoveries about the relationship of Sudanese languages. Makes remarks about sound pictures in the Bantu. Has begun work on a Bantu grammar. In contrast to Wundt, he does not necessarily see the cause for sound shifts in cultural progress and refers to his own essay on the subject.
Thank you for the second part of the second volume of "Peoples Psychology". Does research to the Nama and hamitic languages.
