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.

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.
