From Count Harry Kessler Berlin 6 November 1925 Thanks AE for his (nonextant) letter of 3 November 1925. Asks that AE excuse Jacoby’s exaggerated presentation of his relationship to AE.

From Walther Meißner Berlin-Friedenau, 6 November 1925 Thanks AE for his (nonextant) notes of 3 and 5 November in which AE corrected Meißner’s errors. He is rereading the papers.

Now he also understands the value of elimi- nating λ. ALS. [17 117]
