Demian Goos finally tracked down Dedekind's copies of letters he sent to Cantor, showing that Cantor on at least two occasions published papers on orders of infinity, based in part on Dedekind's work, without crediting him. The letters had been preserved by Dedekind's heirs, and were made available to Goos by Karin Richter.
