Saying that it will interest her and Franz Werfel to receive greetings from Yerevan, the capital of the republic of Armenia which, following the U.S.S.R. constitution adopted on 6 December [1936], became a full member of that union, along with Georgia and Azerbaijan; that Armenia, Georgia, and the Turkomans rightly hope that this change will further promote their national characteristics and culture; that he is a guest professor at the Georgian State University in Tblisi in the language and culture of the Prearmenian Chaldeans and their cuneiform writing; that he is now in Yerevan where he is witness to the astonishing development of the city; that the index to his book Armenien Einst und Jetzt (Armenia Then and Now) is complete; asking her to ask Franz Werfel to inscribe a copy of his Vierzig Tage des Musa-Dagh (Forty Days of Musa Dagh) to Lehmann-Haupt and send it to his secretary in Innsbruck, etc.
