Dear Marion,

Thank you for your letter. Your arriving on Thursday,
August 11, 2011 at 8:35 on Air France 322 is just fine.
I look forward to meeting you at the airport.

Thank you also for your generous comments about my notes
on Hoelderlin. I think your interpretation of his idealism
is very much to the point. I find the idealism raging in 
German thought at the end of the 18th Century stunning and
appalling. Last night I read the first third of Schiller's
essay  "Anmut und Wuerde" (Grace and Dignity) which is replete
with all manner of idealistic constructions in Kantian style,
which, however sympathetic my approach, I cannot but interpret
as a misuse of language such as reaches its apogee in Hegel's
writings.

As I wrote earlier today, I'm apologetic about the egocentricity
of my own recent compositions, but I think they should be
accessible to you if you want to see them. The German version
is at

The essay in English, which I've just begun is at
http://home.earthlink.net/~ej1meyer/2011/d110623.00ack
Both are incomplete drafts. There's no obligation that
you should read them.

Thank you for the report on your health, and to the extent that
you don't feel its compromising your privacy, continue to keep
me informed.

Jochen
