Dear Mrs Teichmanis,
The two paraphrases of Latvian folk songs that I wrote "back then" when I was a student for one of Atis' birthdays have just arrived from the printers. Now they have become a small memorial to my beloved teacher and friend. With the warmest regards of old
Bertold Hummel (1989)
Dear Mr Hummel,
(...) I still remember how you got the book of Latvian folk songs from me to surprise my husband for his birthday and how the play was then performed in our home to the delight of us all. My husband had never forgotten that either. (...)
Edite Teichmanis (18 October 1989)
