My dear Doctor Drevermann:
On looking back over your visit I regret that I was able to see so little of you. My life continues to be terribly crowded.
Miss Flinsch is visiting her home during the months of July and August; she is bringing some of her pencil restorations of extinct elephants and mastodonts to show you, also to submit to the lithographers Werner u. Winter, with a view to lithographic reproduction. After two years of very intelligent study under my direction her restorations are becoming both characteristic and artistic. I am extremely pleased with her progress.
I enclose an important letter just addressed to Prof. Franz Spillmann of Quito, Ecuador, raaking Purther inquiries regarding the young Mastodon skeleton descrihed in Natur und Museum of February, 1929. Is it a Mast , andium or a Mast . humboldtii ? If you ha.ve a copy of bis scientific description, I hope you will kindly lend it to me, as I extremely desirous of including this in the Appendix to Chapter XII of my Monograph, which covers the South American mastodonts.
V/ith appreoiation and best wishes, believe me
Prof. Dr. F
Dr. F. Drevermann
