Antw: Re: NAME

[Johannes Helmbrecht]

Dear Jill,

I am also very curious to read your grammar sketch, many thanks for sending it
around. Could you tell me which fonts you are used, unfortunately, not all
characters come out correctly? Or, could you provide me with a pdf version of
the Word document?

All the best from Regensburg
Johannes
