Scope and content
Letter of recommendation for Reinhold Regensberger, book collector and linguist, at that time a refugee in England: 'einer der feinsten und interssantesten Menschen..., die diesen heruntergekommenen Planeten gegenwärtig bevölken. Er kennt etwa 100 Sprachen und hat auf eine mir unbegreifliche Weise seine riesige Bibliothek nach England retten können...' [one of the finest and most interesting men... to people this ravaged planet. He knows roughly 100 languages and has in a - to me - incomprehensible way managed to bring his huge library safely to England..']
