Around 1931, Zermelo had an extended correspondence with the young Reinhold Baer concerning the edition of Cantor's collected works. Some of the letters also deal with Skolem's paradox and Gödel's first incompleteness theorem. Whereas Zermelo's letters are lost, most of Baer's letters are contained in the Zermelo Nachlass. Besides giving insight into Zermelo's reaction to Skolem's and Gödel's results, the letters also demonstrate Baer's clear understanding of the behavior of models of set theory and of the relevance of Gödel's first incompleteness theorem.
