Dear Louis/ You will undoubtedly get a letter shortly - if you have not got one already - from Murray Fowler, at the University of Wisconsin, who is preparing a book on structural linguistics and wishes to include as an appendix the "Definitions” from the Prolegomena. I have no objection to his doing so, but the final decision is, of course, yours. His request once again points up the need for a second edition of the Prolegomena. Could you please let me know whether I may be permitted to prepare such an edition? Celina, Cyril, and Methodius-Shadow join me in entreating you for a reply. With best greetings from us all to you and Mrs. Hjelmslev,

Cordially,

FW:ns
