Dear Hans Leibbrandt,

I got copied on your exchange of mails with my son Alfred, and I thought I
should send you a brief word.

First, to apologize for not having consulted yet your "leibbsite" (which I
shall be doing on the first occasion, as Alfred was absolutetely enthused
about your work!), and secondly to let you know my interest in the CD
version.

As far as the material compiled by my father, Kurt Leibbrand, is concerned,
I am having a bit of a problem: I would be delighted to share it with my
brothers and sister - and you, of course, and Bernd Schäfer -, but this is
difficult, say, impossible at the moment. Some of the pages are larger than
DIN A4, so I cannot easily photocopy or scan them with my equipment, and
since this material is unique and has to be handled with the greatest care
(as it is typed on postwar paper of poor quality), I am hesitant to have
this job done by a copy shop etc.
My time beeing extremely limited at the moment (as I spend most of the day
with urgent repairs of the "new" property of the 16th/17th century between
Cognac and the Atlantic coast which my wife and I had a chance to buy 2 1/2
years ago), I do not think I shall be able to copy the whole set of papers
before this coming winter - when our roofs should finally be restored and
safe. However, if you should like to have a specific information in advance,
I shall see what I can do for you - if you allow me a few days.
Sorry, this may not sound overly constructive, but if you could see me on
top of one of our roofs, from dawn til dusk, under the burning sun, while
our summer guests are relaxing in or around our pool, I am sure you would
understand.

With kindest regards,

Hermann Leibbrand
