P.S. 

Our ri1ost aff'0ctio:1.ate re;;ards to bot:n o:r you,, 

Correcti.ng the 2nd parag-raph of this letter: I have 

talked again with my friend and learned that he did not 

see the books in a bookstore in Stockhoim. The man who 

delivered the lecture had one set of the books with him 

and showed that set to members of the audience who came 

up to the platform a.ft2:r the lecture. My friend was among them and it ',.·;::;.s there that he saw the 'books. He 

also saw on the rear cover of each volume ho1d many copies 

had been printed: 1000 each of volumes 1 and 2, and 700 

of volume 3. He did not note the price. The books are 

in Russian and probably have as title something like the 

following: :'Tl:e decipherr,1ent of the Maya language by 

computer machinery. 11 Please'do not go to too much 

trouble on this matter, as I will perhaps be able to 

acquire a set sooner or later in this country. 

P.P.S. I now. have the full title (Russian) of''~ 

the work ·in questio~: · _ ___;../ 

PRIMENENIE ELEKTRONNICH VICHISLITEL 1 NICH Iv.LASHIN V ISSLEDOVANII ,., PIS 1MENNOSTI DREVNICH lf.LAIYA 

Each volume has a sub-title but I 

I don't think you will need· them. 

do not have them as yet. Besides,
