248 So. 23rd Street, Philadelphia, Pa. - An article on his summary of the interpretation of [Stephen] Langdon's tablet will be published in the Journal of the American Oriental Society; data on the new Sumerian version of the Deluge published by Dr [Arno] Poebel is in Jastrow's book on Hebrew and Babylonian Traditions; doesn't think the Sumerians or Babylonians had any story about the Fall of Man; asks if he has any parallels outside of his written works on the 'father motif' in which gods and man are descended from a male deity.
