Dear Kurt¢g=
Thank you very much for your letter,also in the name
of the twins. We three wish you good luck in your new"home".
I have inguired all over but unfortunately I have not
been able to find anything for you as yet.- Did you try some of
the agencies,especially that foreign language agency,the latter
firm is very active in placing people with knowledge of foreign
languages.- I also spoke repeatedly to Dr.Simson in your behalf
but he also has so far given negative replies only.
|
Last week I was at the State Department in Washington.
They had cabled over to issue visae for Lotte and Peter. I am greatly
upset and worried by this sudden outbreak of War and fear that it
Will be impossible for Lotte and Peter to leave Japan.-
Any day you happen to be in my neighborhood around
lunchtime please come in end lets have lunch together.
: I hope that you have good news from Helmuth and Til.Please
give them our regards when you write.
Sincerely yours
eee

Dear Pauls
It may have been unavoidable,indeed, that Lotte and Peter now must
hibernate in K, « and not only that,as the war doesn't look like a mere
winter c gn - ,nevertheless you do not need to be told how I feel
glarmed and stunned, As soon as you will get any news about,let me |
know,please, I hope my last letter to Lotte may still have reached her,
It is scarcely to be questioned that,besides Helmy who will go,I -
assume,to the Philipines or Hawaii,Tyll,too,will be drafted soon,and tsp
same fate Will oc to the twins later,end to ourselves,perhaps, "Spex
dum spiro."In ay case it is the clear duty of all of us to help Amerie
I thank you very gratefully for your spaking to Mr. Simson about
my (non-existing)situation,your endeavorings now end in the future,and
your advice. Be assured @ am doing ail in my power to find a job, But
much seems to depend on what is called protection,
When I hayen to be in your neighborhood I'1l drop in and have a
talk with you.
Please,give the twins my regards,
So lonGece
