[Richard T. Eger]

Dear Nick and Norbert,

That sounds good to me, too. It explains the situation regarding the 4. Staffel, which would otherwise be lost.

Hopefully, we've chosen the correct interpretation of "geschlossen". At least we've given it our best, which is all that can be asked for. The intent when writing anything historical is that we capture the true meaning of what was intended, rather than creating false history.

I'm using the abstracts as the frontispiece for each document. The document still remains for subsequent reinterpretation.

Regards,
Richard
