Abstract from EMLO: When are you coming back? I pine without you in this cultural desert, and I do not blame you at the Hague mingling with learned men of culture frequenting your house as a temple of learning and all the finest arts. I daily lament my lot which binds me to this spot [and more in this vein]. I send you Rubenius' posthumous "de Re Vestiarian which at the cost of great labour I have reduced to order and added an explanation of an Augustan coin inscribed "Asia recepta". I have left intact Rubenius' illustration of the Augustan and Tiberian Jewel and his book "de urbibus Neocoris". My Hesiod is almost ready and I am proceeding with Homer. I have made great use of the ancient scholiae you kindly communicated to me. When shall we see your origin of the Nile and other rivers? Pray do not disappoint hopes of the issue of all the distinguished work on which you are engaged and which you have promised the public shall have. Gevartius died on April 10th. He would like a copy of Spanheim's "on the use of ancient coins".
