Honorable Colleague,

       v         I have checked the list of your book requests given to me in Krakow and ordered all the listed items from the Polish Bookstore in Paris except for three, which – as they were published in Belgium – are hard to get in Paris, unless one finds them in a French bookstore, e.g. at Vrin’s. We will explore it after Christmas. The books will be sent to PAU with the markings that they are the property of Dear Colleague.
       v         Immediately after the New Year I will be sending linguistically reviewed manuscripts of dissertations for Neophilologicum Archivum to the Academy. I am beginning to wonder if my intention to publish these papers in the form of individual issues is appropriate, or rather the pre-war system of publishing Archivum in collective issues should be maintained. The latter form of publication would facilitate the exchange of Archivum with neo-philosophical magazine publishers and should not cause any delays of the set publication dates for already completed dissertations. The first one of those shall be Fr. Michalski’s piece, so I allow myself to remind Colleague the promise you made to prepare the final version of its typescript for printing and precede it with your own preface.
       v         On this occasion, I am sending my wishes for a peaceful Christmas and a successful New Year and heartfelt embraces to you and Madam.

S. Wędkiewicz
