'Verehrter Freund! ... Das Verzeichniß über Ihre Handschriften ist im Druck fertig. Es wird in diesen Tagen broschirt. Ich habe am Schluß desselben auch Ihre früher an die K. Bibl.' verkauften 23 Handschriften beschrieben; meine Beschreibung weicht doch oft von derjenigen ab, welche Vollers in der Deutschen Morgenländischen Zeitschrift gegeben hat....
Es sollte mich freuen, wenn Sie von der hiesigen Akademie eine nennenswerthe Reise-Unterstützung bekämen; Referent über Ihren Antrag soll - glücklicherweise - Dillmann sein.
Mit Grüßen an Ihren Hrn. Bruder u. mit besten Wünschen für Gelingen Ihrer Pläne Ihr ergebenster W. Ahlwardt.'
Short description:

Remarks:
In the 1880ies, Wilhelm Ahlwardt was entrusted by the Prussian Ministry of Culture with the task of cataloguing the Arabic manuscripts held by the 'Königliche Bibliothek' (Royal Library) in Berlin.
By 1887, the 'Royal Library' hosted 264 Arabic manuscripts acquired from Eduard Glaser, 23 of which had been purchased after Glaser's first journey to Yemen (October 1882 - March 1884) and 241 after Glaser's return from his second trip to Yemen (April 1885 - February 1886).
