Dear Professor Bloomfield s

I am very much indebted to you for the kindness you showed me in asking the publishers to grant my students a reduction of the price for your been very useful to us, I wrote to you in my last letter about my work on phonetic structure. Uldall and I are going to read two pa- pers on the London Congress of Phonetics, and we are probab- ly publishing at least something about it this summer. I am sorry that I have not seen your name in the programme of the London Congress; it would have been most interesting to dis- cuss the subject with you. I hope very much that we shall see you in Copenhagen for the Linguists * Congress in 1936; in the preparatory coramitieewe have decided to make the definition of the phoneme and the structure of phonemic systems one of the chief subjects. Of course you get our official invitation later

. Your book has

on.

With best regards,

sincerely,
