May 17, 1977 Mr. Dieter Curths UMSCHAU VERLAG Lektorat Breidenstein KG 6000 Frankfurt am Main Dear Mr. Curths: I received today your kind letter of May 12th. I regret that you had so hard a time to come into contact with me. I mail your letter to Mr. Christoph Marx, who is my representative on the continent of Europe, (His address: Rebgasse 16, 4102 Binningen, Switzerland), and who is empowered to negotiate the translation of my books. There was recently quite a number of inquiries for my books in the German language, the most recent from Ullstein Verlag. Since Mr. Marx only a few weeks ago returned from visiting with me in Princeton, I assume that the German rights have not yet been committed. Sincerely yours, Im. Velikovsky IV: js
