“Im Allgemeinen war mein Aufenthalt in Deutschland ausgezeichnet. Ich konnte innerhalb meines Aufenthaltes von drei Monaten die nützlichen Informationen für meine weiteren Forschungen gewinnen. Ich werde die neu erworbenen Materialien in den kommenden Monaten nutzen, um meine Monographie über die Künstlerinnen Lettlands von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis 1915 zu vervollständigen. Ein ernsthafter Vorteil in Bezug auf Kontakte wurde ebenfalls erreicht – ich bekam die Anfrage von Frau Dr. Wilhelmi einen Beitrag für die Zeitschrift “Nordost-Archiv” für das Jahr 2019 zu schreiben.” (On the whole, my stay in Germany was excellent. During my stay of three months I was able to obtain the necessary information for my further research. I will use this newly found material to complete my monograph on the female artists of Latvia from the middle of the 19th centruy until 1915. I also obtained a real boost in terms of new contacts – I received a request from Dr Wilhelmi to write a contribution to the magazine Nordost-Archiv for the year 2019.)
