Dear Mrs. Anderson: I have lost connection with your son-in-law, my fellow countryman and scientific collaborator H. J. Uldall, who was in Athens when the war broke out. As he is supposed by his family to be in the States by now, and as you are likely to know his •oresent address, I venture to ask you, in order to save time, if you would be kind enough to give him, at the first occasion possible, the following message from me: 1. The theory of language which had been prepared by Uldall and myself will" be published by me in a few.months in a short Danish version« I am taking the responsabilit« of this version myself, and it does not in the least anticipate the larger work which will be published by Uldall and.me when the war is over. -' The theory has developed on some points since our last meeting, but no serious alterations have taken place; only the Procedure is somewhat different. ?
