OJ 10/3, [105] Handwritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated August 21, 1929
In this long letter, Deutsch seeks to explain Vrieslander’s behavior with
regard to the purchase of materials from an unscrupulous antiquarian dealer, and also to
account for Hoboken’s treatment of Vrieslander as a consequence. --- He accepts that funds
to set up a journal linked to the Photogram Archive are not unlimited, but understands why
Schenker cannot devote as much of his own time to the project as Hoboken might expect. ---
He describes Hoboken as a childish character, with little understanding of the world of
ordinary people, who might nevertheless ultimately produce a good piece of
scholarship.
