Scope and content

Stettin N.T., Braunsfelde. Dated Sept. 4, 1912 - Thanks him for 'Adonis, Attis, Osiris'; is happy his notes have been of service; the burning of kings in 'Adonis' is interesting; has a statuette that might be an Attis; believes Frazer is right in the main about [Peter?] Jensen, and thinks he is right to detach his Crucifixion theory, but he is inclined to look for the nucleus of possibilities in the 'wild and unmethodical ways', hopes he can find an opportunity of inserting a reference to his 'Israel'; many people are interested in translating 'Israel', including Sir William Ramsay and his daughter in Boston. Accompanied by four pages of notes in German, possibly those referred to in the letter of 11.8.12.
