Again I’ve not kept carefully up on the nuances of what was innovated when, but 
it always seemed to me that many subtle aspects of his Welby correspondence 
illustrated rethinking of some aspects of the sign. Now I’d assume those didn’t 
originate for the Welby letter but probably represent work done in this general 
period of 1905 onward. 

My own position doesn’t appear to be the same as Kirsti’s. While I think he did 
focus on meaning, I think it was through his work on signs that he attempted to 
understand meaning. But again I note that I’ve just not paid close attention to 
the “when” of certain aspects of of the sign that appear in the Welby 
correspondence. I admittedly am more focused on the content.
