The letters in the third volume focus on the philosopher Jacobi, for example his letters to J. G. Herder and to F. Hemsterhuis. The famous letter to Moses Mendelssohn written in November of 1783, is one of the main documents of this volume. The letters to Princess Gallitzin in Münster also play a significant role. The correspondence documents the beginning of his relationships with Hamann and Herder and the renewal of his relationship with Goethe. In his private life, it was the death of his son Franz Theodor and his wife Helene Elisabeth which had the greatest impact.
