Summary/Abstract: The correspondence presented here includes four letters and two postcards from1887–1888, sent by Jan Baudouin de Courtenay to Jan Karłowicz. This correspon-dence concerns the Dorpat period of the life of Baudouin de Courtenay and his fam-ily. The main topics are: (1) the stay of the Karłowicz family’s eldest son, Edmund,as a boarder at the home of the Baudouin family; (2) scholarly and other relations atDorpat University and in Dorpat. The edition retains the original notation, includ-ing repetitions, crossings out and additions, which – as one can assume – will pro-vide insight into the idiolect of Jean Baudouin de Courtenay. The second part of the correspondence, including seven letters and fourteen postcards, will be published inActa Baltica-Slavica in 2025.
