==Text (End of Weber's circular letter):==

[...] ''Triole'' kann vor der Hand ''directe'' an mich nach ''München'' schreiben. die Bemerkungen über Gegenwärtiges ''Circulare'', werden die B:[rüder] darunter schreiben und der ''Secr:'' mir mittheilen. 
:::::::::::::::::::::::::''Melos''. 

[Zusatz von Gottfried Weber:]
In Betr. des H Frölich in Wirzburg stimmen alle Angaben mit den gesezlichen Erfordernißen überein, ist also nur zu bedauern daß die Aufnahme welche nicht anders als mündlich geschehen kann, sehr verzögert werden wird: indeßen ist die Zeit zu benuzen um den Alumnen zu beobachten. ''Centr''. 14 Mz 11. 
:::::::::::::::::::::::::g[iu]sto 

[Zusatz von Dusch:]
Ich bemerke bloß daß ich nichts zu bemerken weiß, als daß ich alle mögliche Erkundigungen über gedachte ''Subjecte'' einziehen werde. 
:::::::::::::::::::::::::''the Unknown''.

[Zusatz von Meyerbeer:]
Da ich bald nach Würzburg, Bamberg, Nürnberg und Augsburg zu gehen gedenke, so werde ich Gelegenheit haben die persönliche Bekanntschaft der obgedachten ''Subjecte'' zu machen, und dann meine Meinung darüber mittheilen. 
::::::::::::::::::::::::''PhilodiKaios''.

[Zusatz von Gänsbacher:]
Da ich H: Fröhlich ganz und gar nicht kenne, auch bisher keine Aussicht habe, in Kenntniß von ihm gesetzt zu werden, so richte ich mich ganz nach dem Gutachten der übrigen. 
::::::::::::::::::::::::Triole. 
 

==Commentary:==
This is not really an example of "normal" postscript but the form is very similar to the example of 29th January 1812. The Circular letter first reached its addressee (Gottfried Weber) and all members of the "Harmonische Verein" (an association of a few artits acquainted with Weber and founded in 1810) added their commentaries. Then this letter was returned to Carl Maria von Weber and he deposed it in the club's archive. It might be of interest how this example should be encoded in comparison with the other "real" postscript examples!

[[Category: Postscript encoding|*]]
[This is intended as a collection of examples of "normal" and of really problematic "postscripts". You are invited to add further examples with oder without encoding.]

==List of Examples==

* [[C. M. v. Weber an Johann Gänsbacher, Munich, 27th June 1811]]: Normal Postscript without label
* [[C. M. v. Weber an Johann Gänsbacher, Berlin, 29th February 1812]]: Complex Postscript with label (hypothetical, but nevertheless realistic example)

* [[C. M. v. Weber an Gottfried Weber, Augsburg, 10th March 1811]]: Special Case: Circular Letter with additions (not really postscripts)

''New SIG:'' content to come (2008-07-21)

=== News ===

The SIG will initially meet at the 2008 Members Meeting at King's College in London on 8th November 2008.

=== Introduction ===
The TEI Special Interest Group on Correspondence seeks to bring together scholars interested in creating digital scholarly editions of correspondence. The goal of the SIG will be to discuss and develop sample tagsets (including suggesting additions/modifications to the TEI Guidelines) for varying forms of correspondence as well as to create tutorials and best practice models.

Because the initiative for this SIG emerged from editorial work with 19th century letters, the organizers of this SIG have focused on these types of materials. However, we want this SIG to be more encompassing, embracing varying types of historical and literary correspondence including epistles, telegrams, postcards, etc.

The common feature of these sorts of text is a generally formalized physical appearance (e.g., an envelope for letters) and structure of content (i.e. address field, special formulas for opener and closer). [http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Projects/da03.xml DALF] was one of the best documented projects in this area developing specific DTDs for those needs in P4: this may be a starting point for further work in P5.

Initial topics for the SIG Correspondence may include:
* the handling of the envelope and postal addresses
* the formal description of correspondence as a written dialogue between an author and an addressee
* correspondence-specific bibliographical data within the metadata section

=== Activities ===

The SIG runs a mailing list, which you can join by visiting http://listserv.brown.edu/tei-corresp-sig.html .

=== Results of current discussions ===

[There will be minutes or summaries of current discussions here.]
