Summary/Abstract: The article Jan Karol Sembrzycki do Michała Kajki (Kayki) (wokół korespondencji dwóch Mazurów pruskich) [Jan Karol Sembrzycki to Michał Kajka (Kayka) (around the correspondence of two Prussian Masurians)] is a reconstruction of cooperation between the aforementioned persons. They maintained contact from 1884 to 1889. Sembrzycki inspired Kajka to write about local topics and to collect Masurian folklore. What Kajka found in Sembrzycki was mainly support for his writing ambitions. They both promoted the idea of maintaining the ability to read, write and speak Polish in the Masurian community. This article uncovers and comments on the issues related to Masurian literature and culture in 19th century.
