To Heinrich Zangger 18 June [1919] [Not selected for translation.] 64. From Paul Natorp Marburg, 26 June 1919 Dear Colleague, At last I have come to an agreement with Alf[ons] Paquet, Herrigel, and Wilh[elm] Schäfer on a version of a proclamation for socialism, which I am enclosing herewith with the request, if it is conscionably possible for you and seems right, that you add your signature to it.[1] I am initially also inviting, at my own instigation, Prof. Staudinger–Darmstadt, and Prof. Tönnies–Eutin (Kiel).[2] Only a few others are envisioned for the first signing, which will then be promul- gated with an appeal to wider circles to join. Objections may be raised against any version. I myself find fault with a few things already, part[icularly] with the next to last (longer) paragraph.
